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.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was in the middle of final preparations for the team’s first postseason game against the division rival Giants when he decided to go to an unorthodox source of motivation.
As the team met on Friday night ahead of Saturday’s divisional round game, Sirianni showed the team Eminem’s rap battle in his movie 8 Mile and the team loved it, per John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

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.

After battling an ankle injury throughout Saturday’s game against the Jaguars, Patrick Mahomes revealed an ultimatum given to him by the Chiefs after he was forced to miss part of the 27–17 divisional round win.

Stephen A. Smith did not hold back when discussing the Brooklyn Nets and would be star player Ben Simmons.
Simmons is in his first healthy season in Brooklyn, and it has not gone particularly well.
During ESPN’s NBA Countdown show, Smith said that with his poor performance, Simmons is essentially ”stealing money” from his current team.
“Ben Simmons, it’s a sad situation,” Smith explained. “And I don’t mean this literally, because obviously, he’s not doing it, but one would say, he is stealing money.
