The Philadelphia Eagles secured their 14th win of the season, tying their franchise record, with a 20-13 victory over the New York Giants in Week 18.
It was terribly cold for a preseason game, but that’s because it was January and not August. On a windy Sunday afternoon that struggled to get out of the 20s at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles emptied their bench, not wanting to risk any injury to one of their starters after being locked into the No. 2 seed in the upcoming playoffs. So, they used as many backups as they had to spare against the Giants in Week 18’s regular-season finale.
The result was their franchise-record-tying 14th win, this one a 20-13 win over a New York team that finishes a most disappointing season with a whopping three victories. They finished with as many losses (14) as wins posted by the Eagles, who wrapped up a 14-3 season and now turn their attention to next weekend’s wildcard playoff game. It was the second time in the last three years that Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has guided Philly to a 14-win season. Third-string quarterback Tanner McKee stepped in and led the Eagles on a scoring drive on the Eagles’ first offensive possession, tossing a 15-yard touchdown to rookie Ainias Smith. He would throw another TD, this one from seven yards to E.J. Jenkins to give Philly a 17-3 lead early in the fourth quarter. After going up 20-13 with 1:46 to play, safety Sydney Brown’s interception with 24 seconds to play ended it. It was a fitting play for Brown, whose season has been hampered by a concussion and a late start to the season due to rehabbing an ACL injury suffered in last year’s regular-season finale at the Giants. Now, it’s on to a more meaningful game next week when the No. 7 seed Green Bay Packers visit Lincoln Financial Field on a day and time to still be determined after Sunday night’s game between the Lions and Vikings.New York defensive end Boogie Basham jumped offsides on a fourth-and-three try from New York’s 4
