The Eagles will host the NFC championship game next week after dismantling the rival Giants. BOOMbaca's takeaways from the scene:
Compared to the New York Giants, they entered this NFC divisional round matchup as the better team on both sides of the ball.
For the Giants, the shellacking capped a season in which the organization over-performed by the standards of a new regime with first-year general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll.If LeBron James is tweeting about you with exclamation points, it's probably been a good night for your team. After the Giants could not convert a fourth down and the Eagles took over near midfield, Smith and Hurts connected for a 9-yard touchdown to make it 14-0. In the second quarter, eternal Giants killer Boston Scott -- 11 of his 19 career touchdowns have come against New York -- scored from 3 yards away following a nine-play drive in which the Eagles ran it eight times for a three-touchdown lead.
The first turnover of the game, a Jones interception, came when James Bradberry -- cut by the Giants this past offseason for salary-cap purposes -- jumped a slant route to Darius Slayton. Jones had to get rid of the ball because a blitz from the secondary went through the line untouched, a nice design by Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon.
