New York Jets-allocated quarterback Kevin Eakin threw a game-winning 11-yard touchdown pass to tight end Brock Edwards on fourth and goal with 16 seconds remaining to lead the Galaxy to a thrilling victory over the Fire (0-5).
Unlike the previous four weeks when he rotated with Philadelphia-allocated QB Andy Hall, McBrien started and played the entire game. He completed 9 of 22 passes for 125 yards and threw a 13-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter that gave Rhein a 7-0 lead. But McBrien was intercepted three times and finished with a season-low passer rating of 35.4. McBrien will be battling for a roster spot against Aaron Rodgers, Craig Nall and J.T. O’Sullivan in the Packers training camp this season.
