The Philadelphia Eagles are 14-3 after beating the New York Giants!

Second time in franchise history the Eagles have won 14 regular season games … with the first coming all the way back in 2022.

Time to hand out some winners, losers, and IDKs.

WINNERS

THE RESTED

The Eagles were able to rest their starters in this game. The Green Bay Packers played their starters in Week 18 … and some of them got banged up in the process.

The Eagles also seemingly avoided injuries in this game.

Assuming Jalen Hurts gets cleared to return from his concussion, Philly’s active roster should be pretty healthy for the Wild Card round.

TANNER MCKEE

Touchdown Tanner McKee has never lost a game as an NFL starting quarterback.

He’s up to four career touchdown passes and zero interceptions thrown.

McKee is accurate and poised. He throws with anticipation. Been fun to watch.

At the very least, McKee looks ready to be QB2. I expect he’ll remain QB3 the rest of this season if/when Kenny Pickett is healthy enough to play.

It remains to be seen how the Eagles will handle their backup QB situation this offseason. The feeling here is that they should trade Pickett, who’s entering the final year of his rookie contract (fifth-year option notwithstanding), for whatever they can get and ride with McKee as Hurts’ top backup. McKee could fetch more in a deal, especially since he’s got two years of cheap team control left. But McKee is worth keeping. He can ball. And that much has been apparent since he made his preseason debut in 2023.

DALLAS GOEDERT

Goedert looks healthy. He caught four of his six targets for 55 yards in an effort to knock off some rust.

We’ll see if the Eagles can count on him to stay healthy … but having him back beats the alternatives.

JAHAN DOTSON

Dotson set new highs in targets (11), receptions (7), and receiving yards (94) on Sunday. His previous highs in those categories, respectively: four, two, and 36.

Dotson obviously benefited from A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith not playing. But he didn’t get anywhere close to this kind of production when those guys both missed playing time earlier in the season.

No one is arguing the Eagles should suddenly make Dotson a focal point of the offense. But he should probably be more involved than almost never at all. It would be nice if Hurts and the coaching staff could find a way to successfully incorporate him. It’s clearly not like he just can’t play.

WILL SHIPLEY

The Eagles’ rookie running back took 10 carries for 32 yards. Not the sexiest stat line for a running back but consider he was much more efficient than Kenny Gainwell, who had 11 carries result in just 14 yards.

Shipley looked dangerous as a pass-catcher, grabbing all four of his targets for 35 receiving yards.

With Gainwell set to be a free agent after this season, Shipley might be RB2 behind Saquon Barkley in 2025.

AINIAS SMITH

Smith has come a long way since really struggling in training camp. Pretty cool for him to go from potentially being cut as a rookie to finishing the regular season with a touchdown catch in a win.

Smith still has a long way to go when it comes to proving he deserves a role in the offense. This offseason will be important for him to get better and make his case.

E.J. JENKINS

Jenkins boosted his stock in training camp practices and preseason games. Not to the point where the Eagles decided to keep him on the roster from the jump but enough to where he could bide his time on the practice squad and wait for an opportunity to get called up.

It was cool to see Jenkins’ patience rewarded with a touchdown on Sunday afternoon. Must feel good for the 2023 undrafted rookie free agent to get a moment in the spotlight like that.

TREVOR KEEGAN

Keegan is a winner for simply getting on the field after being a healthy scratch for the Eagles’ first 17 games. Gotta be tough going from starting for the national champions in college to not even dressing for games in the NFL. But Keegan finally got his shot. He could be an important depth offensive lineman for the Eagles in the future.

KELEE RINGO

Ringo created a turnover on downs with a fourth down pass breakup and he made an awesome tackle on punt coverage. If Darius Slay retires and Isaiah Rodgers isn’t retained, it could be Ringo and Quinyon Mitchell as the Eagles’ starting outside cornerbacks next year with Cooper DeJean staying in the slot.

ISAIAH RODGERS

Rodgers dished out a big hit, got credited with a PBU, and had a nice 51-yard kick return. It’ll be interesting to see if he re-signs with the Eagles after this season. My guess is he lands elsewhere but we’ll see.

JORDAN DAVIS

The big man really stood out in this game. Davis did a great job of sniffing out some Giants screens and blowing them up.

He set a new single-game career high in total tackles with five. He tied his single-game career high in solo tackles with three.

Davis logged the fifth TFL of his career and his first since Week 6.

Davis playing a good amount in a meaningless game isn’t great in terms of him being viewed as expendable to some extent. But, hey, it’s good that he looked good and the extra conditioning could be good for him.

OREN BURKS

17 total tackles! That’s a lot. That’s even more than Zack Baun has had in a single game this season (15). And Burks logged two TFLs.

Update: 17 tackles is the most by an Eagles defender since 1994.

VIC FANGIO

I know it’s “just the Giants” but “just the Giants” put up 45 points on the Indianapolis Colts last weekend. Fangio’s defense, which compromised mostly of backups, only surrendered 10 points and 238 yards. That’s pretty good.

JEFFREY LURIE

This was the Eagles’ 300th win since Jeffrey Lurie bought the team in 1994.

The Eagles (300-231-3, .565) are one of five NFL franchises with 300+ victories since then (including playoffs), joining the New England Patriots (357-192, .650), Green Bay Packers (339-202-2, .626), Pittsburgh Steelers (332-202-3, .621) and Kansas City Chiefs (308-220, .583) during that stretch.

Lurie is obviously a great owner.

LOSERS

THE NEW YORK GIANTS

For as bad as the Giants have been for some time now, this is a new low for them. They had never lost 14 games and they had never gone winless in the NFC East.

The Giants had a chance to win this towards the end but they blew it multiple times. Smart, really, because it helps them get a better draft pick. One thing they apparently ARE good at: tanking.

Reports indicate the Giants could keep both Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen. If that’s true, delicious. The Eagles would love to see that happen.

JAKE ELLIOTT

Elliott missed a 39-yard field goal attempt. It was windy, yeah. But this was Elliott’s ninth missed kick this season. He missed 11 kicks in the previous three seasons combined.

There are real concerns about Elliott’s reliability in the playoffs. That uncertainty has to inform Nick Sirianni’s decision-making.

I DON’T KNOWS

SYDNEY BROWN

The positive:

• Brown broke up a fourth down conversion attempt to Malik Nabers.
• Brown came up with the game-sealing interception.

The negatives:

• Brown had some really bad missed tackles.
• Brown didn’t even manage to start this game. He played at safety when Avonte Maddox shifted down to nickel cornerback. Brown is currently the fifth safety in pecking order behind Reed Blankenship, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Maddox, and Tristin McCollum. Brown obviously missed crucial time in the offseason while recovering from an injury but I think it’s fair to say it’s disappointing he hasn’t managed to be more than the fifth safety by now.

BRYCE HUFF

Huff seemed to be invisible more often than not but he did have a few rushes that stood out later in the game. He didn’t get home on those but he did knock Drew Lock off his spot. Minor victories?!
