New York Isn't Going To Be In The Playoffs Because Philadelphia Was Topped By Washington On Sunday Night Football
New York topped Dallas by a score of 23-19 yesterday in East Rutherford New Jersey!
Why?
Sterling Shepard who is a wide receiver made significant contributions to the victory. He scored the game's first two touchdowns on a 23-yard reverse and a 10-yard reception – the first two-score game of his career – and caught eight passes for a season-high 112 yards. Shepard had eight of the Giants' 17 receptions. “according to an article by Michael Eisen on giants.com
While starting quarterback Daniel Jones finished with a season-high 106.9 passer rating. He completed 17 of 25 passes for 229 yards, two touchdowns – the other was a 33-yarder to Dante Pettis – and his first interception since Nov. 2, on a throw that went off tight end Evan Engram's hands.according to an article by Michael Eisen on giants.com
While the New York Giants defense sacked Andy Dalton six times, including three by Leonard Williams, who finished the season with 11.5 sacks – 4.5 more than his previous high total. Dalvin Tomlinson, Blake Martinez and Kyler Fackrell – who returned to action after missing the previous four games – had the other sacks. according to an article by Michael Eisen on giants.com
Though the New York Giants won they’re aren’t going to playoffs!
Why?
Because the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t win on Sunday Night Football as they were topped by Washington by a score of 20-14 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania!
Why?
It ended on a third-and-74-yards-to-the-end-zone play with a completion from Nate Sudfeld to Quez Watkins that gained 6 yards, an apt ending to a disappointing 4-11-1 Eagles season and the Washington Football Team players celebrated their NFC East Championship after the 20-14 win while the Eagles trudged to the locker room, disappointed and knowing that a long and franchise-changing offseason awaits, one that features the sixth overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft and a whole lot of decisions that need to be made. “according to an article by Dave Spadaro onphiladelphiaeagles.com
