The Philadelphia Eagles kept their NFC East title hopes alive on Sunday with a 33-25 victory over the New York Giants. The Eagles, who had lost three of their last four games, needed a win to stay in the hunt for the division crown.
The Eagles got off to a fast start, scoring on their first two possessions to take a 14-3 lead. Quarterback Carson Wentz was efficient, completing 21 of 30 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Miles Sanders also had a big day, rushing for 118 yards and a touchdown.
The Giants kept it close, however, as quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns. But the Eagles defense came up big when it mattered most, stopping the Giants on fourth down late in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
The win keeps the Eagles in the hunt for the NFC East title. They currently trail the Dallas Cowboys by one game in the standings and have a head-to-head matchup with them in Week 16. If the Eagles can win that game, they will be in control of their own destiny for the division crown.
The victory was also a big one for Wentz, who has been under fire in recent weeks due to his inconsistent play. He responded with a solid performance against the Giants, showing that he can still be a difference maker for the Eagles.
Overall, it was an important win for the Eagles as they continue to fight for a playoff spot. With just three games left in the regular season, every game is critical for Philadelphia. If they can keep winning, they will have a chance to make some noise in the postseason.
