Talk to any fan or observer and you’ll get the same response. The Eagles last regular season game against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday (1:00 PM, FOX) is “meaningless.” The Eagles have clinched the No. 1 overall seed in the upcoming NFC playoffs and the Cowboys were eliminated after their loss to the Seattle Seahawks last […]

The Giants are still fighting, the former despite an ankle injury he aggravated last week, and the latter with the weight of a dismal 2-11 record on their backs. Tomorrow, they can create a season highlight, and enjoy payback for perhaps their toughest defeat of the season, when they host the 11-2 Philadelphia Eagles, who have already clinched the NFC East title and have their eyes on securing the top seed in the conference playoffs.
The Giants would love to derail those plans, even temporarily.
