That conjures up images of the "Miracle at the New Meadowlands." It's a meltdown that falls not just on new play-caller Matt Patricia's defense for getting torn up, but the head coach, the offensive coordinator, the quarterback and everyone in between.
Tommy DeVito and the Giants are coming to town for a Christmas Day matchup. If the Eagles allows Tommy Cutlets to hand the team another L, this holiday season in Philadelphia might bring about a one-and-done postseason appearance.
