respective totals of 530 and 445
pounds.
Justin Desormeaux dominate the field

PHILADELPHIA — Everywhere Brad Johnson
turned, there was a sea of green in his face.
Darwin Walker sacked him on the last play of the
first half. Corey Simon fell on him for a 4-yard loss
on his next passing attempt. N.D. Kalu drilled him for
a 9-yard loss seconds later.
In a span of seven plays, including three runs, the
Philadelphia Eagles sacked Johnson three times in a
convincing 20-10 victory over the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers earlier this season.
Johnson finally left the game after breaking his ribs
after his fifth sack. Rob Johnson finished up, getting
sacked once.
