Daily News | What we learned from Eagles-Giants: Handicapping Jalen Hurts’ MVP chances
The visitors’ locker room at MetLife was festive after the Eagles pasted their division rivals, but clinching a playoff spot didn’t add much spice to the celebration. At this point, a postseason spot was expected, so it’s understandable why coachdidn’t want to make a big deal after the game. “Oh, that’s nice,” he said when asked about becoming the first NFL team to grab a berth. Sirianni didn’t even mention the achievement in his post-game speech to his players. The Eagles have greater goals.
They can’t accomplish either on Sunday at the 3-10 Bears, even if the 10-3 Cowboys are upset by the Jaguars. But with a victory over Chicago — assuming Dallas wins — they can clinch both the division and the NFC top spot by beating the Cowboys on Dec. 24. Even if they fall to the Bears, there are additional paths to winning the No. 1 seed in Week 16. But if the Eagles take care of business on Sunday and on Christmas Eve, they can start planning for the postseason with two weeks remaining.
So why all the sacks and already 19 more than they had a season ago? Well, for one, the Eagles have two good pass rushers that they didn’t have a year ago, or at least in, who leads the team with 10 sacks, has brought a much-needed edge to the edge rushing unit. The outside linebacker has double-digit sacks in each of his last three seasons, and became the first to ever do so for three different teams over that span. Graham notched three sacks on Sunday and is second with 8 ½.
