Giants vs. Eagles: 3 keys to victory in Week 17

Three keys to victory for the New York Giants as they host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17 at MetLife Stadium.

The New York Giants host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in their final game of the season. The Giants look to close out the season with a win, and end the Eagles hopes of making the playoffs at the same time.

A win could save the jobs of Pat Shurmur, James Bettcher and Dave Gettleman, and cement Daniel Jones’ position as the team’s quarterback and offensive leader.

There are three keys to making this happen:

FINISH

When these two teams faced off in Week 14, the Giants had all of the momentum going into halftime. But Pat Shurmur and James Bettcher failed to make adjustments, showing the Eagles more of the same, something which is easy to defend and exploit.

This time, the Giants need to make the adjustments they didn’t make a few weeks ago. They need to stick with what works, like feeding Saquon Barkley, and show the Eagles different looks. Getting creative with play calling, much like they did last week, will go a long way toward keeping the Eagles on their toes and giving the Giants an edge.

The Giants almost beat the Eagles in their last meeting, and there’s no reason to think that they can’t this time. But making those adjustments is imperative.
