Playoff football is generally considered a game of defense and running. Philadelphia reiterated that ping during the entire first half. Crater size wholes cut into the defense of the Giants during allowed Miles Sanders and Boston Scott to stretch there legs out early. Notably though Jalen Hurts hasn’t been asked to do to much leaving questions lingering about the shoulder injury from week 16. One deep shot to his running mate Devontae Smith showed us either way he will get the job done. Boasting over 100 yards rushing in half one, and still two passing touchdowns to pair with all those yards from the ground. Coming out at halftime Daboll surely wants to inspire his offense and see Jones back to his previous week form. Up 28-0 , Pam Oliver’s reports from coach Siriani promises the Eagles are guaranteed to keep their foot on the gas.
Trying to save face from an even larger blowout, the Giants put points on the board with there first drive of the second half. After committing more defenders to stop the running attack from Philly, the defense became winded quickly and allowed even larger gains on the ground. Short trips on offense gave Hurts way to much time of possession keeping big blue on the sideline. A historied rivalry between the two and adding this game puts a first playoff defeat in the books for New York who deserve some credit for the turn around they had this season. The hard nosed Eagles fight on next week against the winner of Sundays matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers.
