EAGLES WIN THE NFC EAST IN NEW YORK!!! Oh & the Sixers Lose a Whacky One in Miami....

The Philadelphia Eagles make the playoffs and win the NFC East after beating the New York Giants by a score of 34-17. It was close as the game was tied 17-17 heading into the fourth quarter. The Eagles had players drop like flies throughout the game as they lost Miles Sanders, Brandon Brooks, and Avonte Maddox. Brandon Graham left for the locker room and eventually returned. Everyone stepped up in their place. Boston Scott had 138 yards from scrimmage and scored three touchdowns. Carson Wentz was AWESOME and recorded 4,000 yards on the season. That's without having one receiver catch for over 500 yards individually. Doug Pederson, Jim Schwartz, and even Mike Groh deserve a ton of credit for this one. Schwartz did a great job of holding Saquon Barkley to nothing, until he had a 68-yard touchdown run to tie the game, but he was quiet for the most part. Dallas Goedert, Greg Ward, Deontay Burnett, Malcolm Jenkins, Fletcher Cox, Cre'von Leblanc, Sidney Jones, and all of the guys really played inspired football with a purpose. Now, we await to see who the Eagles will host in the first round of the playoffs!
The Philadelphia Sixers lose to the Miami Heat in overtime and experience a whacky turn of events. They had this game and let it slip. Tobias Harris missed a dunk to solidify the win and Joel Embiid had a costly turnover off the rebound which led to Tyler Herro knocking down a three-pointer to take the lead with just under seven seconds remaining. Josh Richardson had a chance to tie the game with two free throws and he missed the first. He then had to miss the second on purpose which led to a Ben Simmons tip in to tie it. Embiid scored 35 points and had a couple clutch threes down the stretch. He was the only reason why the Sixers had a chance to leave victorious. Simmons did great defensively, but his offense still hurts the team specifically with the zone. He did a great job on Jimmy Butler on the d side of things. Brett Brown went to Trey Burke to help break down that zone. Al Horford was awful as he recorded a -25 rating. Harris had a wide open look to win the game from behind the arc at the end of overtime and he missed.
