Philadelphia – Cry, Giants, cry.
The door to the NFC East title that had been left ajar for them over the past few days and looked like it would be creaking open even more when the Giants were ahead by 16 points late in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Eagles has slammed shut on them thanks to a discouraging, disheartening and virtually disqualifying 25-22 loss at Lincoln Financial Field.
With the score tied at 22, the Giants allowed the Eagles to convert a fourth-and-1 from the New York 41 – Carson Wentz hit Nelson Angholor for a gain of 12 – which set up a game-winning 43-yard field goal by Jake Elliott with 22 seconds remaining.
