Daily News | Three quick thoughts on the Eagles versus the Giants in the NFC divisional playoffs
No Bucs defense. No Cowboys offense. Seattle would have been great, but the Giants were the ideal reality most within reach.
The Giants’ 31-24 upset victory over Minnesota on Sunday afternoon in the second of three NFC wild-card gave the Eagles the clarity they were looking for. By knocking off the third-seeded Vikings, the sixth-seeded Giants ensured that they will enter next weekend as the NFC’s lowest-seeded team, thereby earning themselves a second trip to Lincoln Financial Field in three weeks.
New York coach Brian Daboll turned Jones loose against Minnesota and gave Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon plenty to think about. The Giants’ fourth-year quarterback was magnificent against the Vikings, completing 24 of 35 passes for 301 yards and two touchdowns while adding another 78 yards on 17 carries. While Jones has had plenty of success this season, rarely have we seen him command a football field the way he did on Sunday.
