McNabb went 345 of 571 for 3,916 yards. He had 23 touchdown passes and four interceptions.

The 3,916 passing yards on the season were the most in his career up until this stage in his career. It was also the seventh most in the league overall.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees led the league with 5,069 yards. Kurt Warner, Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers, and Peyton Manning had more yards than McNabb.
