The Philadelphia Eagles have much bigger goals than just clinching a playoff spot, which they did by beating the New York Giants 48-22 on Sunday.
The defense held Saquon Barkley to 28 yards on 9 carries. The Eagles also sacked Giants quarterbacks 7 times, led by Brandon Graham with 3, including a strip-sack in the fourth quarter.
The Eagles took an early 21-0 lead as Sanders scored from 3 yards out on the first drive, then Hurts hit DeVonta Smith for 41 yards, connecting on a 4th-and-7. Hurts and Brown hooked up from 33 yards, coming on the first play after Giants punter Jamie Gillan was called for an illegal kick. But the Eagles took over from there. Hurts' 10-yard TD run on a quarterback draw up the middle made it 34-14. Then Sanders scored from 40 yards out with 6:01 left to make it 41-14. Then Graham sacked Jones' backup, Tyrod Taylor, forcing a fumble that the Eagles recovered at the Giants' 23.
On 2nd-and-10 from the Giants 47, Hurts hit Brown for 9 yards, giving him 1,001 for the season. It's his third time over 1,000 yards in his four NFL seasons. On the next play, Sanders gained 15 yards, giving him 1,012. He since added to that total.
