The Eagles were back to blowing kisses to their fans. Coach Nick Sirianni was back to his fist-pumping, headset-throwing gesticulating self. Everything was good once again in Eaglesland thanks to the Christmas present of the hapless New York Giants visiting Lincoln Financial Field on Monday.
The Eagles did what they were supposed to do against a team that has the NFL’s largest point differential by beating the Giants, 33-25, snapping their three-game losing streak.
The victory moved the Eagles to 11-4 and gave them sole possession of first place atop the NFC East, beating the woeful Giants for the fifth-straight time and in 13 of the last 15 games.
