The New York Giants entered Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles hoping to get a win against their division rivals and end the season on a high note.
The Giants did just that when they beat the Eagles in blowout fashion. The Big Blue win handed the Eagles their fifth loss in the final six games of the season as they head into the playoffs as the fifth seed.
The Giants’ defense played the best they had all season long, forcing three turnovers and the Eagles appeared to have quit at halftime, replacing Jalen Hurts with Marcus Mariota.
The dominating win also highlighted a few players who may see their Giants tenures come to an end this offseason, including Saquon Barkley, Xavier McKinney, and Tyrod Taylor.
The score did not reflect the degree to which the Giants dominated the game as they had control throughout.
Here’s how X, formerly known as Twitter, reacted to the win.
Crushing the Eagles and, at most, only losing one spot in the draft order to No. 6. And that is contingent on the Chargers winning, which they are not at the moment.
This should be a feel-good win for Giants fans.

#Giants cannot hero but get in their own way. Lose when we need wins, win when we need losses.
The pat decade of my fan hood has been aggravating, nauseating and miserable.
Joe Schoen, take a QB. Restart your clock. Give me some faith that you know what you’re doing.

IDC, beating Philly is absolutely worth messing up any draft position we have. 😂.

I can't help but think this was the offense we were supposed to see from the Giants this year before all the craziness started.

Looks like the Seahawks will be donating the #48 pick to the Giants if I'm not mistaken. 3 top 50 picks will certainly help this rebuild.
