The 6 weeks until Kress was cleared went by slow. Luckily he had gotten his wife Ashley pregnant and it kept him busy. It was what he needed to keep his mind off of football. Kress returned to the Eagles. It was week 13 and they told him he would start because they had 4 wins and 8 losses and were in last place in the NFC East. Kress was happy to finally make his NFL start but luckily it wasn't the end of his rookie season just yet. He wanted to at least lead the Eagles to an 8 and 8 season. But he had to win the next 4 games against Chicago, NY Giants, NY Jets and Cowboys. But Kress was ready to do it. He was ready to go out there and show the world who Michael Kress really is.
The games started and Kress on the first play of the game connected with Matheny for an 80 yard touchdown pass. It was 7 – 0 Eagles and Kress was thrilled. Kress than connected on a touchdown pass of 40 yards to give the Eagles an 14 to 0 lead. Then Chicago scored a touchdown of there own on a 5 yard Scamper by their quarterback to make it 14 to 7. But Kress ran for a 12 yard touchdown and gave the Eagles a 21 to 7 half time lead.
In the second half Kress threw a 12 yard touchdown pass to give the Eagles a 28 to 7 lead. Then the defense intercepted the Chicago quarterback and ran it back for a touchdown. Now the Eagles had a commanding 35 to 7 lead. Kress would throw for another touchdown pass of 22 yards as the Eagles won 42 to 7. The Eagles defense played surprisingly well led by Michael Kress and a high potent offense. After the game Kress told the Media that he was happy to be on the field again and that he missed all of his teammates and he missed throwing the football.
The Eagles were now 5 and 8 but led by Michael Kress they looked unstoppable. Maybe if Kress played an whole season the Eagles would be really good. Michael left the stadium and headed home to take a long nap. He thought he deserved it after the one hell of a game he played. Kress fell asleep and he knew in his heart that he was going to be a really good football player.
