The playoffs are still on hold for the New York Giants.
The Giants would have clinched a playoff spot with a win on Thursday at Lincoln Financial Field, but the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles played spoiler with a 24-19 victory. Only the Dallas Cowboys were happier than Philadelphia because they clinched the NFC East and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs thanks to New York's loss.
