A weekly look at how the Eagles have fared under coach Andy Reid continues with Week 14, 2000:

The Eagles dropped a 15-13 decision to Tennessee that had the second-guessers wagging their tongues.

Leading 13-12 in the waning minutes and facing a third-and-9, Reid called for a pass play rather than a run that would have kept the clock moving. Donovan McNabb's pass to Chad Lewis fell incomplete and the Titans, who were out of timeouts, got the ball back with 1:43 remaining.

"I'd do the same thing again. That's the way I like a football game to be played. I've established an aggressive attitude here. I'll always take the aggressive approach," said Reid, who dialed up a successful onside kick at Dallas to begin the season.

Tennessee quarterback Steve McNair drove the Titans 32 yards to set up Al Del Greco's fifth field goal of the game, a 50-yarder, as time expired.

Reid's Week 14 record: 5-4. Last year: Lost at home to the Giants, 16-13.
