The Eagles are set to host the NFC Championship game after a 38-7 win over the New York Giants in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.
Philadelphia rushed for 268 yards on the ground as offensive coordinator Shane Steichen got back to his superb run-pass ratio on Saturday night, as the Birds ran 69 total plays, 44 of those plays coming on the ground.
Philadelphia will now await the winner of Sunday’s divisional matchup between the 49ers (2) and the Cowboys (5), with the winner heading to Lincoln Financial Field next Sunday afternoon.
Here’s the national reaction to the Eagles moving on.

Jalen Hurts is the ultimmate winner.
The Eagles are now 15-1 with Jalen Hurts as their starter this year.
Barring an unforeseen injury, they will have 21 of 22 regular starters available for the NFC Championship.

Health improving, Eagles send message to rest of NFL with the demolition of Giants.
Saturday night, it was sung with a resounding exclamation as the conference’s No. 1 seed throttled the New York Giants 38-7 to advance to next weekend’s NFC title game against either the Dallas Cowboys or San Francisco 49ers.
And just like that, a team that just two weeks ago seemed battered and looked like it might have peaked prematurely, suddenly looks rejuvenated and back on a championship flight path heading into next Sunday.
