The Eagles are 12-1 for the second time in franchise history, after their thoroughly convincing 48-22 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
The victory clinched an Eagles’ playoff berth for the second consecutive season in a game that showed the difference between a Super Bowl contender and a leaking team floundering for a playoff berth.
The only other time in Eagles’ history in which they were 12-1 after 13 regular-season games was in 2004, when they won the NFC championship and lost, 24-21, to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX.
