Giants beat Eagles 27-10 in week 18

The Giants' victory over the Eagles in Week 18 was a testament to their resilience and determination. From the opening kickoff, it was clear that the Giants were ready to dominate the game. Their offense displayed precision and efficiency, while their defense showcased strength and tenacity.

The Giants' quarterback, Daniel Jones, played a pivotal role in leading his team to victory. He threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, displaying his versatility as a player. His ability to make quick decisions under pressure allowed the Giants' offense to move downfield effortlessly.

Receiver A.J. Brown injured his right knee in the first quarter and later was ruled out of the game. Safety Reed Blankenship (groin), starting right guard Cam Jurgens (eye) and safety Sydney Brown (knee) also were ruled out.

    Quarterback Jalen Hurts injured the middle finger on his throwing hand but stayed in the game before coach Nick Sirianni decided to pull several key starters late in the second quarter with the Eagles down 24-0 and their hopes of capturing the NFC East title all but lost.

    After giving up 24 points in the first half, Head Coach Nick Sirianni took out his starters before the end of the second quarter. While the Eagles lost the game, they also lost safety Reed Blankenship, wide receiver A.J. Brown, safety Sydney Brown, and guard Cam Jurgens to game-ending injuries.

    With this afternoon's loss, the Eagles are locked in as the No. 5 seed in the NFC and will travel to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Wild Card Round next week. The date and time will be announced during or after tonight's game between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins.

    The Eagles opted not to dress several key players, including receiver DeVonta Smith (knee), D'Andre Swift (illness) and defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (rest).

    Still, Sirianni said at the beginning of the week that the Eagles would "do whatever we need to do to win this game" in part because they wanted "to go into the playoffs not in a rut."

    "Right now, regardless of what's going on outside of us, anything external, it's about controlling what we can," Hurts said. "I truly believe this team is more than capable of taking advantage of what's in front of us. You've got to do the work and you've got to do what you need to do, but all you need is a crumb, all you need is an opportunity."
