Jalen Hurts returns and Eagles clinch No. 1 seed in NFC by downing Giants

The Philadelphia Eagles got their quarterback back and found the winning touch again in Week 18.

Philadelphia toppled the New York Giants, 22-16, at the Linc on Sunday and in the process earned the No. 1 seed in the NFC and the bye that goes with it.

The Eagles raced to a 19-0 lead and managed to down Big Blue, which closed within six points on a Kenny Golladay pass from Davis Webb with 1:43 left.

Hurts was 20-of-35 for 229 passing yards and an interception. He rushed 9 times for 13 yards.

The Giants already had wrapped up a Wild-Card spot and started Davis Webb at quarterback, resting Daniel Jones.
