The Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants are set to renew their historic rivalry at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday, the first time the teams will meet in the playoffs since the 2000 season — when the Giants beat the Eagles in the NFC divisional round. Philadelphia and New York have met in the postseason four times, with the Giants winning the first two matchups (1981, 2000) and the Eagles winning the past two matchups (2006, 2008).
Philadelphia earned the No. 1 seed — and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs — by finishing with the best record in the conference (14-3), while New York was the No. 6 seed in the playoffs (9-7-1) and advanced to the divisional round for the first time since winning Super Bowl XLVI in the 2011 season (thanks to a 31-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings).
The Eagles won both matchups, 48-22 in Week 14 and 22-16 in Week 18, although New York rested its starters in Week 18 because it was already locked into the No. 6 seed in the NFC. In the 48-22 victory, the Eagles rushed for 253 yards and scored the most points ever against the Giants on the road.
Philadelphia leads the all time series, 92-88-2, including going 33-13 in their past 46 meetings against New York (since the Giants defeated the Eagles in the 2000 NFC divisional playoffs). Can the Giants turn the rivalry around Saturday? Will Philadelphia continue its dominance of New York?
