That was the game the NFC East deserves.
In a division that has now combined for six wins through 25 games, the NY Giants and Eagles’ offenses were emblematic Thursday of the division in which they reside, in a 22-21 Giants win/loss at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Giants had the chance to salt out a victory on offense, leading 21-16, but instead the final 2:07 of Thursday loss was a familiar house of horrors that showed just how far away this team is from competing, even in the woebegone NFC East.
Despite putting together a five-play drive that chewed up 2:36, Daniel Jones had a perfectly placed deep ball bounce off the fingertips of tight end Evan Engram deep downfield that would have at least extended the drive and allowed the Giants to continue to milk the clock and potentially pad what was a 21-16 lead.
