The NFC’s No. 1 seed Eagles swept the annual home-and-home from the No. 6 Giants and will host the third meeting Saturday in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Not all clichés are true, especially in sports.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll predictably said Monday that there is no impact from the first two games on the third, but forgive a starved fan base for recalling one of the nine times revenge was achieved — when the 2007 Giants upset the No. 1-seeded and division-rival Cowboys in this round. “We’re not going down there to see Jessica Simpson,” defensive end Justin Tuck said, feeding the narrative of a distracted Tony Romo vacationing with Simpson during the bye week.
“Everybody was like, ‘Jalen’s back, we’ll be back to the same team,’ and then they played the Giants and they weren’t,” Toomer said. “In the back of their mind, there is doubt. Early in these games, you have to punch them in the mouth.”It was Toomer who landed the first figurative haymaker — a tackle-breaking 52-yard touchdown catch — on the opening drive versus the Cowboys.
