The Eagles won the first game 48-22 on December 11, and won 22-16 on January 8.Less than two weeks later they met in the Divisional round of the playoffs, and the Eagles won by a score of 38-7.While the Eagles won all three matchups last season, their rivalry has always been competitve. New York is looking to make the next leap this season and ruining Christmas for Philadelphia would be a big part of that.
