Recap:

The 4-7 New York Giants hosted the 9-2 Philadelphia Eagles in an NFC East division matchup that always brings intense heat.

The Giants' defense looked rock solid throughout the first half, not allowing the Eagles to score until the end of the third quarter when Donovan McNabb connected with tight end Bryan Butler for an eight-yard score. The Giants had a chance to take the lead late in the fourth quarter, but Eli Manning was intercepted by Asante Samuel in the endzone, sealing the victory.

Philadelphia will be traveling to Seattle, Washington next week to face off against the 9-3 Seahawks in a battle of the NFC's elite.

On 4th and Goal McNabb was able to shake free of a defender and score the game-winning touchdown.

Recap:

The 4-10 New York Giants visited the 11-3 Philadelphia Eagles in an NFC East division matchup.

The game went all the way down to the final drive, where the Giants saw themselves with a 24-20 lead. On 4th and 23, Eagles' quarterback Michael Vick broke a 60 yard run, setting up Philadelphia with a good opportunity to take the lead. Donovan McNabb capped off the drive with a valiant, hard-nosed one yard run, sealing the win for the Eagles.

Eagles and Vikings Set to Matchup in Divisional Game

Eagles and Vikings Set to Matchup in Divisional Game


Jared Allen won't be able to cause Donovan McNabb any trouble, as he is out with a torn hamstring.

After upsetting the 10-6 Chicago Bears, the Minnesota Vikings will be traveling to Pennsylvania to match up against the 13-3 NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Offensive Rookie of the Year Alex Garrison had a huge game against Chicago, but he will now be forced to face one of the league's best secondaries. Adrian Peterson will need to have a big game running the ball to free up any possibility of a successful passing game.

The Eagles offense, on the other hand, should have an easier time picking apart Minnesota's defense than they usually would, thanks to injuries to Jared Allen, Pat Williams, and E.J. Henderson.

If Philadelphia can stick to their gameplan, they should be able to pass Minnesota and advance to the Conference Championship game.
