Terrell Owens of the Eagles catches a touchdown pass over the 49ers' Mike Rumph (24) and Shawntae Spencer on Sunday. Owens had five catchers for 143 yards — all in the opening 19 minutes — against his former team.

McNabb’s 42-yard TD pass to Owens early in the second quarter made it 21-0. This time, Owens stood in the end zone, stared into the stands and nodded his head before giving the ball to McNabb. The catch put Owens over 10,000 yards receiving, making him the 22nd player in NFL history to reach that mark.

Lito Sheppard intercepted Rattay’s pass on San Francisco’s next play and ran it back 34 yards to the 2. Brian Westbrook caught a 2-yard TD pass from McNabb on the following play.

With kicker David Akers sitting out after injuring his hamstring on the previous kickoff, linebacker Mark Simoneau made the extra point to put the Eagles ahead 28-0.

Third-string tight end Mike Bartrum kicked off, but Akers returned to make the rest of the kicks.

A week after beating St. Louis, the 49ers were completely overmatched against the Eagles. They had just 62 total yards in the first half and 142 overall, while Philadelphia racked up a team-record 583 yards.

The extra motivation of playing against Owens couldn’t help San Francisco. Linebacker Derek Smith, who had harsh words for Owens earlier in the week, wasn’t a factor. Safety Mike Rumph delivered a crushing hit on Owens after a 20-yard catch in the first quarter, but Owens got right up.

“He didn’t let all of that bother him,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said of Owens. “I’m sure everybody has their opinion on him on that team. Some guys like him and some don’t, but he goes through that every week. Guys taunt him, but he doesn’t get into that.”

Smith stood by his criticism of Owens.

“I said he was a premier player, but I wouldn’t take him on our team, even after his performance today,” Smith said.
