Chris Myarick scores Giants only touchdown against his hometown Eagles

Tight end Chris Myarick, who scored the Giants’ only touchdown in a 13-7 victory over the Eagles on Sunday, was born in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, which is nine miles outside Philadelphia.

He played high school ball in nearby Cheltenham, Pennsylvania.

He went to Temple, which is in Philadelphia.

If he didn’t grow up as an Eagles fan, that would be one of the biggest upsets in NFL history.

So getting his first NFL catch and touchdown and doing it against the Eagles had to be an extra special thrill for the 26-year-old, right?

"It would have been just as sweet against any team," Myarick said.
