Each NFL rivalry has its personal distinctive historical past of slim escapes and brutal fourth quarter collapses. In 2004, the Packers beat the Vikings in each matchups by an identical scores (34-31) with an identical endings (Ryan Longwell discipline targets on the final play of the sport). The 90’s Raiders gained consecutive video games in Denver by blocking Broncos discipline objective makes an attempt on the ultimate play. However no person decides a recreation on weird, baffling performs fairly just like the Eagles and Giants.
The second and last choose six of Michael Strahan’s profession? Occurred in an Eagles-Giants extra time. Herm Edwards’s most well-known second as a participant? Yup, that’s Eagles-Giants. A game-winning landing being scored by a workforce making an attempt a discipline objective? Who had that discipline objective blocked? However one way or the other recovered the ball and had a lineman run into the top zone? Eagles-Giants, child!
Which brings us to in the present day’s topic: the Miracle on the New Meadowlands. With first place within the 2010 NFC East on the road late within the season, the Giants had been trying to show they had been proper to maintain collectively their Tremendous Bowl-winning core. Conversely, the Eagles wanted to indicate they’d made the precise name letting a number of veterans go and bringing in new expertise.
Expertise like DeSean Jackson, the devastatingly fast receiver and score-anytime menace who…simply muffed a punt return. In case you don’t know what occurs, prepare for a wild trip. And when you do, nicely, I hope you’re not a Giants fan.
As a result of this one’s gonna damage.
