PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — General manager Howie Roseman captured the feeling while he was walking off the field after the Philadelphia Eagles’ 38-7 rout of the New York Giants Saturday in the divisional round.
“That’s nice! That’s nice!” Roseman repeated out loud to a security guard — and he has a point. Just two years after going 4-11-1 and pressing the reset button on the franchise by firing head coach Doug Pederson and trading quarterback Carson Wentz, the Eagles are headed back to the NFC championship game.
It’s one of the quickest rebuilding jobs in the modern version of the NFL.
