Eagles opposing player to stop, Week 16 edition

It has to be a New York “Thing.” Maybe something in the water. New York football is offensive to their fans this season since neither the Jets nor the Giants are very offensive on the field. The Jets are dead last in offense, averaging an NFL-low 255.1 yards a game, and right above them at No. 31 are the Giants (261.7).

The NFC East-rival Giants are the perfect panacea for what is ailing the freefalling Eagles right now, a gift-wrapped Christmas cure on Monday at 4:30 p.m. at the Linc to stop the Eagles’ three-game losing streak.

The one and only problem is the Giants still have Saquon Barkley, who has the ability to break a game open.
