The New York Football Giants came into Sunday needing a win over the Eagles in East Rutherford and losses by Minnesota, Chicago, and Dallas for a Playoff position. New York put on the heat early by scoring on their first three possessions, and the score was 21-0 after only the first quarter! After Jeremy Maclin scored a touchdown in the 2nd, Bradshaw ran for a 1-yard TD and Victor Cruz caught a 24-yard pass from Eli Manning, and it was quickly 35-7 going into the half. Then, halfway through the fourth, Henry Hynoski (The Hynocerous) caught a 1-yarder for his first career score, and the Giants had wrapped up a 42-7 victory that as well ended Andy Reid's Eagles career.
The Giants did absolutely destroy Philadelphia, but that's not all that needed to happen for New York to get into the Postseason. Although the Redskins did defeat Dallas to win the NFC East, the Bears defeated the Lions in Detroit and the Packers could not top the Minnesota Vikings. Adrian Peterson was just short of the single-season rush record by just 34 yards. Because of this Minnesota victory, they will take that #6 NFC spot and will rematch against the Packers for Wild Card Week.
Well, that ends the Giants season with a bittersweet win.
