And you thought “Boston vs. New York” was a baseball rivalry
If Boston Scott solely played his game against the New York Giants, he would be the greatest running back of all time. The Eagles’ 5’6 complementary back scored a touchdown against New York in Saturday’s Divisional Round playoff game, and normally one carry for 3 yards would not make the news.
But that single play becomes much more notable when you consider that no player has ever scored on a higher percentage of his plays than Boston Scott against the New York Giants.

Eli Manning and the Eagles have history. The future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback spent his entire 16-year with the New York, one of Philadelphia’s NFC East rivals.
Although Eli went 10-21 against “the Birds,” he won two Super Bowls over the course of his career while Philly won just one over that same period of time. And the rivalry runs deep to this day.
Earlier this week, on Omaha Productions’ Monday Night Football ‘ManningCast,’ Eli spoke about a promise he made to himself. He vowed to never go back to the City of Brotherly Love after retiring.
Daniel Jones may not want to see the carnage happening anyway.
It’s been a first half to forget for quarterback Daniel Jones and the New York Giants. The Philadelphia Eagles took the opening drive 75 yards for an early 7-0 lead, and it only got worse from there. The Eagles scored again on their next drive and it was already 14-0 before the end of the first quarter.
Jones and the Giants could find no rhythm on offense against a tough Eagles defense.
The Philadelphia coach left no stone unturned in preparation for the biggest game of the year.

The current Philadelphia Eagle wrapped up a miserable first quarter for the Giants.
When cornerback James Bradberry was cut by the New York Giants for salary cap reasons, the Philadelphia Eagles wasted no time picking him up on a one-year deal to help boost their secondary. Bradberry had a career-best season and was voted second-team All-Pro.
In Saturday’s Divisional Round playoff game against his former team, Bradberry jumped a Daniel Jones pass intended for Darius Slayton and made the interception.
The biggest chain story in the NFL since Aqib Talib and Michael Crabtree
Every year we watch the NFL and wonder why a multi-billion dollar operation still uses chain crews to determine whether or not the ball reached the first-down marker. But what happens if the chains don’t actually work?
Early in the first quarter of the NFC Divisional Round between the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, the game had to be delayed for several minutes for “an administrative stoppage” because the chains broke off from the signal poles. Seriously. In 2023.
