Daily News | Dallas Goedert’s punch sets the tone in Eagles’ knockout of Giants, and other observations
Before the one-handed catch for his first touchdown, and the 10-yard rumble that nearly became his second, Dallas Goedert delivered the knockout blow. It was instinctual. It was violent. It was perfectly legal. And by the end of a 38-7 exhibition of an Eagles playoff win over a laughably overmatched Giants team, it could easily have been forgotten.
Games like this can make it difficult to perform any sort of thoughtful analysis. The Eagles were the better team, in every facet of the game, by several orders of magnitude. We’d already seen that once, and anybody who thought this time would be different was probably talking themselves into it. The big story on Saturday night had nothing to do with Xs and Os or Jimmys and Joes. Rather, it was the statement that the Eagles made.
You saw it when Marcus Epps chased down Saquon Barkley from behind with the Eagles up 28-0, his effort preventing a 39-yard run from becoming an 80-yard touchdown. You saw it each time Hurts carried the ball by design, including one run that he finished by lowering that much-talked-about shoulder.In short, the Eagles looked and played like the kind of team that does not plan on losing now, next week, or ever.
