The Eagles pulled off their eighth straight victory over the New York Football Giants with some late-game magic offensively and defensively on Thursday night. Carson Wentz led the offense with his wizardry and Brandon Graham sealed the deal to save the Eagles’ season.
Here are a couple of the calls, brought to you by Merrill Reese and Rickie Ricardo. ¡Es bonito!
Wentz found Boston Scott for the go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute remaining in regulation.

Then, after the Eagles failed on their two-point conversion (what is Doug Pederson doing!?), Brandon Graham sealed the game with a strip sack on Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.
First, Merrill:
