"Just because he scored, I don't think he's a Giant-killer," Martindale said of what he saw of Scott from the first two meetings. The Eagles ran for 253 yards in the first meeting between the teams this season. Jones also threw an interception to his former teammate, Bradberry, in the first half.

The Eagles absolutely dominated the Giants in the run game on Saturday night in their divisional round win. By Reuben Frank.

The Eagles earned a trip to their seventh NFC Championship Game since 2001. Thanks in great part to the running attack, the Eagles had an 11 ½-minute time-of-possession edge. In the first 89 years of the Eagles-Giants rivalry, the Eagles ran for 250 yards five times against the Giants. In their 48-22 win in December, the Eagles ran for 253 yards and four TDs. … When we know we’re going to get a chance to run the ball, the (line) and running backs take it upon ourselves to just make a statement every time.” Just happy to get this ‘W.’ Still hungry, and we’re not done.” “Everybody knows I’m the 3rd-down back, but every opportunity I get to help the team out I’m grateful for,” Gainwell said. “It’s a win-or-go-home mentality,” Sanders said. The Eagles’ 268 rushing yards are second-most in Eagles postseason history. They kept doing it and the Giants couldn’t stop it. He ran nine times for 90 yards after halftime. “It was fun to be out there.”

Jalen Hurts' numbers won't blow you away but he did exactly what the Eagles needed him to against the Giants. By Reuben Frank.

He brings this calmness to the entire team. Knowing what that looks like and finding a way to do that.” “I think it was very important for us to come out and start fast,” Hurts said. There is a lot to be grateful for, but it was earned during the week. “I truly never put a limit on myself and I never put a limit on what this team can do, so there’s always more out there for us to get. Hurts was in complete command of the offense, in complete command of the team. But Hurts was brilliant when he had to be. “As a football team, we just came out and played with a lot of energy. The Eagles just transitioned from pass to run earlier than usual Saturday night against an overmatched Giants defense. “Seemed like the old Jalen to me,” Miles Sanders said. “I’m not going to lie. There's a certain elegance in not trying to do too much and only doing what you need to do.

The Eagles are one win away from the Super Bowl, and will face either the Cowboys or 49ers in the NFC championship game.

The Eagles were the better team, in every facet of the game, by several orders of magnitude. He sustained an injury to his throwing shoulder a month ago and was sidelined for two games before Hurts returned in the regular-season finale against the Giants. Regardless, Hurts was a clear beneficiary from the bye week, and he answered lingering questions with his performance in his second career playoff game. Hall of Famer Peyton Manning brought his son, Marshall, to the game, who happened to be sporting a Jalen Hurts jersey. “Even if he is not carrying it or even if he is not having runs to him, he is still going to affect the game. After showing some fan favorites, the Eagles once again showed Manning, who was once again jeered by Birds fans. Before Hurts took the podium in the auditorium at the Linc, Lurie was at Hurts’ locker stall. But the Eagles again find themselves entering an offseason in which they must decide whether or not to extend a quarterback before his rookie contract has expired. You need that self-esteem to play that position at the highest level of football. You don’t have a “Breed of One” tattoo and wear a medallion with the phrase to your postgame news conference if you don’t think you’re special. You don’t wear a Jordan “I’m Back” t-shirt after returning on short notice following the injury if you don’t see yourself in that class. “To have him out there is like having – I’m not sure I should even go there – but he’s like having Michael Jordan out there,” the coach said after the Eagles’ 38-7 win over the Giants.

That's when he'll get to call in to the WIP Morning Show and fire back at longtime host Angelo Cataldi and anyone who has been quick to criticize defensive ...
