EVERY PLAYER on both teams either remembers or has heard that the Eagles beat the Giants, 27-0, in a prime-time game, exactly one year and one week ago, at Lincoln Financial Field.
The crushing defeat had huge consequences for the Giants. They lost wideout Victor Cruz to a horrible knee injury - Cruz hasn't played since, and won't play Monday night - and the beating sent them on a swoon that ballooned into losing seven games in a row. A team that had looked like a contender, winning three in a row by an average of 18 points coming into that night, finished up 6-10.
