The Eagles–Giants rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. The rivalry began in 1933 with the founding of the Eagles, and slowly strengthened when both teams came to relative prominence in the 1940s and 1950s. The two teams have played in the same division in the NFL every year since 1933. The ferocity of the rivalry can also be attributed to the geographic New York-Philadelphia rivalry, which is mirrored in Major League Baseball's Mets–Phillies rivalry and the National Hockey League's Flyers–Rangers rivalry. 

It is ranked by NFL Network as the number one rivalry of all-time and Sports Illustrated ranks it amongst the top ten NFL rivalries of all-time at number four, and according to ESPN, it is one of the fiercest and most well-known rivalries in the football community.

The overall series is currently tied, 86–86–2. The Eagles and Giants have met in the playoffs four times, with each team winning twice.

Amid the bevy of notable moments, including Larry Csonka's fumble in 1978 and Matt Dodge's ludicrous punt to DeSean Jackson in 2010, was Chuck Bednarik's clean blindsided hit on Giants running back Frank Gifford that sent the tailback into an 18-month retirement due to a severe concussion. Plenty of bad blood between these blue and green enemies.

I hope you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
