The Giants lost. Football fans at large might have won.

After a weekend of divisional-round matchups, we are left with four teams that belong. No squad has to be fit for Cinderella slippers. There is not a team that schemed its way around a talent deficit, as the Giants did. Instead, there are four giants.

Left standing are the league’s best passing offense (Chiefs) and best defense (49ers). Still playing is a quarterback (Joe Burrow) who seems on a mission after falling short in last year’s Super Bowl. Still alive is the contender with probably the fewest holes: The Eagles can beat you in so many ways.

There are no miracle runs. The Eagles’ 38-7 stomping of the Giants, whose problems tackling were on full display, made sure of that.
