The New York Giants had won six-straight games against the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. It’s a streak that obviously took years to build, aided by the fact that the Giants had only been in the playoffs twice in the last 11 years.
It took the Eagles about five minutes to snap that run into pieces Saturday night at Lincoln Financial Field in their 38-7 demolition of the Giants in the NFC divisional round of the playoffs.
The Eagles now advance to the NFC championship for the first time since the 2017 season and for the eighth time in franchise history, seventh since 2001, waiting for the winner of the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys.
