“I missed both games last year (because of injury),” said Schwartz, the seven-year veteran guard who is in his second Giants season. “Going to Philly, I’ve only been there once, and it’s a hostile place. These games have a little more intensity, and they’re fun to play in.”
Few NFL games bring the heat generated by Giants vs. Eagles. The NFL and the networks have learned that true enmity results in good ratings. When the teams meet Monday night in Philadelphia, it will be the eighth time in nine years they will square off in prime time.
