The banged-up Eagles rallied back to keep their playoff hopes alive with a 23-17 overtime victory over the New York Giants in a rainy, ugly game in Philadelphia on Monday night.
Eli Manning started for the Giants in what might be his last start with the franchise that he led to two Super Bowl victories. He played pretty decent, too, as his two TD passes gave the Giants a 17-3 lead at the half.
But Carson Wentz and the Eagles stormed back and won it on the first drive in OT as they took it down the field and ended the game with a TD pass to Zack Ertz.
Moments after that game-winning TD, many Philly defenders found Eli and paid their respects to the veteran QB, who now is one game under .500 for his career:
