NFC 49ers ground Eagles in overtime

Philadelphia's loss keeps Dallas alive in the NFC East race.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Forget home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. The Philadelphia Eagles have to win the division first.
Tony Parrish's second interception set up a 22-yard field goal by Todd Peterson in overtime, helping the San Francisco 49ers snap the Eagles' nine-game winning streak, 31-28 on Sunday.
The Eagles (11-4) still can clinch their third consecutive NFC East title and secure a first-round bye with a victory over Washington next Saturday. However, if they lose and Dallas (10-5) beats New Orleans on Sunday, the Cowboys win the division.
To get the No. 1 seed, Philadelphia needs to beat the Redskins and have St. Louis (12-3) lose at Detroit on Sunday.
"It's very disappointing, but we have to focus on the next game," Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb said.
Road streak snapped
The 49ers (7-8) lost Pro Bowl wide receiver Terrell Owens to a broken left collarbone in the first half, but snapped an eight-game road losing streak.
The Eagles lost Carlos Emmons, their best linebacker, to a broken left leg.
Kevan Barlow ran for 154 yards, the sixth time in seven games a runner went over 100 yards against Philadelphia, and had two touchdowns.
Parrish, who intercepted McNabb's throw on the first play of the game, stepped in front of a pass intended for Freddie Mitchell on the first play of OT. He bobbled it, caught it while on the ground and returned it to Philadelphia's 4. Two plays later, Peterson kicked his third field goal to win it.
Parrish said he was upset he wasn't selected to the Pro Bowl earlier this week. He proved he deserved consideration with two picks and a forced fumble.
"I'm over it. I just go out and play hard," Parrish said.
McNabb threw a 19-yard TD pass to Todd Pinkston with 1:02 left to tie it at 28. But the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback had his least-productive game in weeks, throwing two interceptions and getting sacked five times.
"I have to be more secure with the ball," McNabb said.
Reversal of fortune
After Brian Westbrook returned a punt 81 yards for a TD to give the Eagles a 21-14 lead early in the third quarter, the 49ers scored the next 14 points.
A 1-yard TD run by Barlow and successful 2-point conversion made it 28-21 with 5:03 left. A holding penalty on cornerback Lito Sheppard kept the drive alive after the Eagles stopped the 49ers near midfield.
The 49ers cut it to 21-17 on a 33-yard field goal by Peterson in the third quarter. He hit a 25-yarder on the first play of the fourth quarter to make it 21-20.
David Akers, who had made 13 consecutive field goals, missed attempts of 42 and 47 yards in the second half.
The Eagles played without five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Troy Vincent, out with a hip injury. Also, running back Correll Buckhalter was deactivated after he missed a team meeting Saturday and was late for a walkthrough.
