Philly-New York moments have no rival

Philly and New York have a natural, if sometimes unhealthy, rivalry. It's the proximity of the cities, it's the teams being division rivals in all four sports, it's the Yankees being from New York.

Here are some memorable moments, Philadelphia vs. New York:

Concrete Charlie says that it was like any other. But because of Frank Gifford's stature, the opponent, and the severity of the outcome - it is one that will live forever.

"It was one of those typically tough games between the Giants and Eagles in the middle of November," Bednarik explained to Football Digest. "I just hit him high in the chest about as hard as I could. His head snapped, and he went flying one way and the ball went flying another."

The Eagles wound up winning their third - and most recent - NFL championship later that season.

Giants fans call it "The Fumble," but Eagles fans know it as the Miracle at the Meadowlands. With 31 seconds left and the Eagles trailing 17-12, all the Giants had to do was run out the clock. Rather than kneel one more play and end the game, the Giants tried a handoff. Joe Pisarcik tried to give the ball to Larry Csonka, there was a fumble and Eagles defensive back Herman Edwards scooped it up and ran 26 yards for the winning touchdown.

You could say there were two miracles on Sunday - DeSean Jackson's punt return on the final play that beat the Giants, or the Eagles rallying from a 31-10 deficit. With the stakes so high - both teams tied for first place in the NFC East - and so late in the season, the miraculous finish gave the Eagles control of their playoff destiny.
