The Eagles have a way of quickly spoiling opponents’ optimism.

Just ask the Giants, who were smacked 38-7 by Philadelphia in the NFC Divisional Round last season, the last of three losses to their despised rivals.

The Giants were riding high after beating the Vikings for their first playoff win in 11 years, full of newfound ambition for their near-future.

But the loss bluntly exposed just how far the Giants truly were from competing with the NFL’s elite and perhaps served as a precursor to the team’s woes this season.
