The Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants met in Week 18 of the regular season, in a game without a lot of meaning for both teams.
The Eagles, already qualified for the playoffs, rested almost all of their key starters ahead of the Wild Card Round game. The Giants, on the other hand, would not complain about a loss, as they wanted to keep themselves with a high pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
Although neither team had much of an incentive in this game, with Philadelphia locked in the second NFC seed, it was a good opportunity to assess some of their backups and get ready for the January run.

The Giants had no real incentive to win this game, and they lost indeed. They did put up a fight in the second half, but ultimately, the Eagles did just enough to keep themselves afloat, even if most of their starters did not step foot into the game.

Quarterback
Apart from his interception, Lock mostly played a solid game, with a great throw to Malik Nabers in a touchdown but not much impressive after. He will remain a backup in the NFL in 2025, but there's no chance he'll start the season as a starter for any team.
Rushing and receiving
With another good performance, Nabers finished the season with 109 receptions, 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns, playing with below-average quarterbacks throughout the year. Even if this isn't the most exciting season for New York fans, at least they can be happy with the young star receiver.

Quarterback
Jalen Hurts was never going to play in this game, but Philadelphia decided to give the starting nod to McKee with Kenny Pickett suffering from a problem in the ribs. And he impressed, with 269 passing yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers.
Rushing and receiving
Dallas Goedert was one of the few starters who saw game-time in this Week 18 game. The team wanted to give him a few plays to, as they defined, "knock off the rust". The tight end has been injured, but he's an important player in the Eagles' scheme.
