The Eagles dominated the Giants and are clearly near the top of the class in the NFC. AlbertBreer on how Philadelphia’s connections with one another are paying off
If you ask Nick Sirianni what he’d remember most from the weekend, his Eagles sure gave him a lot of things to choose from. He could take the 41-yard touchdown pass that DeVonta Smith snatched away from Giants safety Julian Love, or the way A.J. Brown beat Giants corner Nick McCloud for a 33-yard touchdown. Or he could go to Miles Sanders’s 40-yard touchdown to seal Philadelphia’s 48–22 victory. Or the three sacks Brandon Graham posted.
Right now, times are very, very good for the 12–1 Eagles. And Sirianni doesn’t think it’s an accident that those other moments flowed into Sunday’s rout of the Giants, which very clearly proved the Eagles are the class of a much-improved NFC East. Which is where, again, he comes back to the relationships he and his staff have built with the players, and the players have built with one another.
Facing the 1-10-1 Texans, they went into the half trailing 20–17 and fell behind 23–17 by the end of the third quarter. And in the last few minutes of regulation, it looked like they might actually lose the game—Texans corner Tremon Smith picked off Dak Prescott with 5:37 left to give Houston a first-and-goal from the Dallas 4-yard line up 23–20. A touchdown there would have made it difficult for the Cowboys to come back.
On second down, Jeff Driskel, platooning with Davis Mills at quarterback, bootlegged to his right and found Chris Moore in the flat in front of him. Dallas’s Carlos Watkins ran down Moore from behind and dropped him“That’s just the will of our defense, man,” says Lawrence of the stop. “Not trying to bend or break for anything—we go out there and play our style of football. Through the blessings of God, man, we got the stop. That’s all I can really say.
“We think it’s just a testament to let the offense know—we had Cooper Rush’s back, and we’ve got Dak’s, too,” Lawrence says. “I mean, when you’re in these types of situations, you can’t shy away from greatness and you gotta continue to chase it. I’m just glad that we came out with the dub.” “Most definitely,” he says. “We’ve got more chemistry and attention to detail. We love the game, and I feel like our bond just continues to grow. So we’ll see where we end up.”But, again, there was plenty to take from being just good enough Sunday.
The win was the Panthers’ third in four games. It also pulled Carolina within a game of the Buccaneers in the NFC South. And, yes, Wilks’s crew really is in contention only because of the state of that division. But that they’re in any race is pretty good, considering where they were a month ago.and a game of musical chairs at quarterback commenced.
