Gigantic!
The Eagles beat the Giants in the NFC divisional playoffs.
Gigantic!
Rich Hofmann, Daily News Sports Columnist
The Eagles beat the Giants.The Eagles are headed to Arizona.
The Eagles could go to the Super Bowl.
(Pause to marvel.)
Anybody who saw this coming a month ago is clairvoyant. Anybody who saw it coming 2 weeks ago is a true believer. Because nobody else did. Because this was not supposed to happen. But it is happening. The sixth seed in the NFC playoff tournament went to New York and beat the top seed, 23-11. They were not stopped by fatigue. They were not run over by the Giants' vaunted running game. Their defense was outstanding and their offense was good enough and efficient enough.
And now, on to Arizona and the NFC Championship Game against a team that the Eagles pounded on Thanksgiving night. That is when this serendipitous run began. That is when this whole, crazy, unpredictable run started. If you saw it continuing on to the Super Bowl semifinals, you have better eyes than me.
Arizona.
NFC Championship Game.

- Hey Eaglefan...don't get too overconfident as you go into Arizona. Donovan might be overdue for a brainfart. Also, look what happened to Carolina. That been said, I'll still bet the Eagles.— Packerfan

- i always give credit where credit is due and today AR called a fairly good game. i loved the pass to jackson and the sneak by mcnabb for a TD. i have been calling for this forever and have said in the past that AR would NEVER do it again. i was wrong and the play worked. of course he should have sneaked it 3 more times after the jackson catch. but a win is a win is a win. and i am happy for all of them.— riedmustgo
- Dumberwinslow, I did comment on the game. I congratulated the team. A great win for them. They worked their tails off and clearly outplayed the Gnats......onto Arizona, where if I'm not mistaken Eagles prey on little red birds......— Mark1npt
