Daily News | Eagles vs. Giants: Our beat writers make their predictions for Week 18
I’d expect Hurts to be limited, though. Nick Sirianni and Shane Steichen are likely to construct a game plan that has a few early zone-reads to maintain the quarterback’s plus-one threat, much like they did late last season after his ankle injury. But they can’t overly risk exposing him to contact even if the No. 1 seed is at stake. If Hurts re-injures his shoulder or suffers another setback, theIf starter Daniel Jones sits, Tyrod Taylor will be under center for the Giants. He’s no slouch.
With Jalen Hurts on track to return and the Giants looking ahead to the wild-card round, the Eagles will have an even greater talent disparity than they did a month ago. It’s hard to blow a team out twice, and the Giants reserves who play will have the added motivation of putting out good tape, but the Eagles’ matchup advantages are too significant to ignore.
Hurts may be dissuaded from running much because of his shoulder, but the Giants are susceptible to scrambles because of their reliance on man coverage as well. If Hurts is willing to slide a bit more often, there’s reason to believe he could make an impact with his legs. Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor has plenty of experience, but the Eagles defense should be able to hold up and perhaps even flirt with the NFL’s single-season sack record of 72. The group needs five sacks to surpass the 1984 Chicago Bears for the most all-time.Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen doesn’t hold back in critique of Saints loss as Birds prepare for Week 18, Giants
