Boston Scott, stingy defense powers Eagles to NFC East crown

The Philadelphia Eagles withstood injuries and adversity from day 1 to the season finale, and have earned the right to call themselves NFC East champions.

Boston Scott carried the ball 19 times for 54 yards and three rushing touchdowns. Through the air, Scott accounted for 84 yards on four receptions, further cementing his role in the Eagles offense going forward.

Scott shined bright after Miles Sanders and Brandon Brooks were both lost for the game with injuries.

Carson Wentz had a solid day passing, going 23 of 40, for 289 yards and one touchdown. The Eagles defense shined bright all afternoon, smothering the Giants all afternoon, besides one long Saquon Barkley touchdown run.
