Eagles 23 Giants 20
It Was Over When....
David Akers nailed a 38 yard field goal as time expired, following a 4:00 plus minute drive.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Brian Westbrook who on 20 carries rushed for 141 yards and 1 Eagles playoff record 49 yard TD which gave the Eagles their first score of the game. Later Westbrook also helped the Eagles run out clock and take the ball all the way to about the Giants 20 yard line, setting up Akers game winning field goal.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
1 as in 1 turnover on the day for the Giants to 0 for the Eagles. In the end after all the ebbs and flows between the two it was the one interception thrown by Eli Manning back in the 2nd quarter that proved to be difference. Without the that interception and the Eagles field goal which resulted from it Akers game winning field goal would have been little more than a game-tying field goal. Thus, it just goes to show that every mistake you make in the playoffs is magnified to a higher extent than an equivalent mistake would be in the regular season.
The Bottom Line Is....
Hey, it's the playoffs and Eagles won and will live to play another today. So we'll just have to see how much farther they can go.

Yeah I am pysched up too, and I wish I could be like you and take a stance one way or another, but I am too chicken to decide who'll win on Saturday
