The Eagles are hosting the New York Giants in the NFC divisional round, here are some player matchups to watch.
But Thibodeaux is a very talented rookie who did have 4 sacks and 2 forced fumbles this season in 14 games. Of Thibodeaux’s 53 snaps against the Vikings, 37 came on the left side of the line. If that continues this next game, that means he’ll see a lot of Johnson in this game. The Giants’ other starting edge rusher, Azeez Ojulari, exited the wild card game with a quad injury so his status is unknown.Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale is known for his aggressive, blitz-happy defense.
Keep in mind that Jackson and safety Xavier McKinney are both healthy now after missing that Week 14 game. That's a big boost for New York. On the season, the Giants gave up pretty big numbers to opposing tight ends: 88 catches, 922 yards, 6 TDs. Those 922 yards ranked 23rd in the NFL. Just nine teams gave up more.The Giants scored 31 points against the Vikings and Daniel Jones turned in a really impressive performance. He completed 24 of 35 passes for 301 yards with 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. And he also added 78 yards on the ground, making him their leading rusher in the game.
The Eagles did a great job in Week 14 against Barkley, holding him to 9 carries for 28 yards and 2 catches for 20 ... but he wasn't really healthy then. And anytime they face a running back like this, they have to be concerned with stopping him. The Eagles finished the season as the No. 16-ranked run defense in the NFL but they gave up an average of 4.6 yards per carry, which ranked 24th.
