It will be difficult to divert your attention away from this heavyweight fight. The 342 pound Lawrence describes the 281 pound Kelce as “small and tenacious.” In their lone matchup this season, Lawrence registereds three pressures and a QB hit in an easy victory for the Eagles.
Kelce stated, “He had a great year and is a great player.” There is a 10-year age difference between Kelce and Lawrence; Kelce is 35 and Lawrence is 25, and Kelce has all of the trade secrets.
Lawrence stated, “He knows how to get his body into a good position.” “He is adept at manipulating D-linemen, and the guards do a good job of pounding down and assisting him when he needs it.”
The Giants are riding high and bursting with confidence, but it will take their most effective and audacious effort to win this game. On offense and defense, the Eagles can dominate in a variety of ways. There are likely too many options for the Giants to handle.
Eagles 27, Giants 19
Four falls
One that got away: Shortly after Joe Schoen was recruited as the Giants’ general manager, he understood that the first item of business from a personnel standpoint would be to rectify the ailing salary cap situation. Schoen did not want to release James Bradberry, the team’s best cornerback, but he had little luck on the trade market and sorely needed the $10.1 million in cap space that was created by Bradberry’s release. Bradberry then signed a one-year contract with the Eagles worth up to $10 million.
How did things pan out? With at least 50 targets, Bradberry allowed the third-lowest passer rating in the NFL (55.9) this season. He ranked third in pass breakups (17). Who are the Giants? They struggled to find consistency with a collection of cornerbacks released by other teams, particularly when Adoree’ Jackson missed seven games with a knee injury.
It is impossible to avoid the dominant unit. With strong defense, the Eagles are able to exert control over a game. Some of the figures they present are absurd. They established a franchise single-season record with 70 sacks. Since 1982, when sacks became an official statistic, only the 1984 Bears (72) and the 1989 Vikings (71) have accumulated more. It is a group that spreads chaos. The Philadelphia Eagles are the only team to have four players with 10-plus sacks in the same season: Haason Reddick (16), Brandon Graham (11), Javon Hargrave (11), and Josh Sweat (10). (11.0). Ridiculous.
There is something about the Giants, the postseason, and dethroning the top dog that appeals to big-game hunters. Since 1990, when the NFL reorganized its playoff system, the Giants have faced a No. 1 seed in the playoffs six times. They are undefeated. This six-game winning streak against No. 1 seeds is the longest since 1975, when the NFL began seeding playoff teams. Obviously, the Eagles are the top seed in the NFC.
Jalen Hurts missed two games with a sprained right shoulder (the Eagles lost both) and was asked if he thought the Giants will focus on that region of his body.
“There’s a bounty on me every week,” he added and pledged to do his thing, scrambling and sprinting – he rushed for 760 yards this season.
Kayvon Thibodeaux, a rookie linebacker, remarked, “Being an edge rusher, I see that throughout the league, great players are targeted by scheming.” “As one of the league’s finest quarterbacks, it is only natural that clubs will devise strategies against him. And I would say that we should do anything we can to contain him.
