PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles committed three costly turnovers in the first half that resulted in Baltimore taking a 17-7 lead at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday.

Quarterback Michael Vick threw his fifth interception of the season on the team's opening possession. Running backs Bryce Brown and LeSean McCoy each lost fumbles in the second quarter.  All three miscues occurred inside the Ravens' 20-yard line.

The Eagles took a 7-0 lead on McCoy's 1-yard run in the first quarter. The Ravens evened it at 7-7 on their next possession on Vonta Leach's 5-yard run.

The Ravens went ahead 14-7 on quarterback Joe Flacco's 21-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jacoby Jones against Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.

Ravens kicker Justin Tucker hit a 56-yard field goal just before halftime.
