Postgame Recaps, Storylines,
and News |
The Giants are playing like a
team making all the right moves,
while the Eagles can't seem to
catch a break. Eli Manning threw
a 20-yard TD pass to Plaxico
Burress and Lawrence Tynes
kicked three field goals as New
York hung on to beat
Philadelphia 16-13.
The Eagles' David Akers
missed a 57-yard-field goal
attempt with one second left
that would have forced overtime
after Donovan McNabb drove the
team 50 yards in the final
minute.
The Giants (9-4) have all but
eliminated the Eagles (5-8) from
playoff contention with their
sixth consecutive win on the
road. New York is almost locked
into the No. 5 seed in the
conference with three games
left.

GIANTS:
The Giants feel they can run the
ball against the Eagles'
above-average defense, and if
that is successful (burly
Jacobs, 6-4 and 266, is ready to
return), they'll be able to pass
with somewhat more ease. QB Eli
Manning continues to look for WR
Plaxico Burress downfield, but
the extent of Burress'
season-long ankle sprain has
diminished his downfield speed.
Now Manning uses more of the
medium-range passes to WR Amani
Toomer and TE Jeremy Shockey.
Defensively, the last time
the teams met (Sept. 30), the
Giants piled up a team-record 12
sacks, including a team-record
six by DE Osi Umenyiora. It was
Donovan McNabb, who is once
again healthy and scheduled to
start, who absorbed all of those
sacks. "Every week is a new
season," says Umenyiora, "and
you can't expect anything to
happen that happened before."...FULL
STORY
EAGLES: The Eagles need
to stay out of obvious passing
situations Sunday and not allow
the Giants' fearsome pass rush
to come after Donovan McNabb. In
the first meeting, in which
McNabb was sacked 12 times, nine
of the Eagles' 16 third-down
situations were seven or more
yards...FULL
