Jalen Hurts accounts for three TDs, Eagles crush Giants to reach NFC title game

The Eagles will host the NFC championship game next week after dismantling the rival Giants. BOOMbaca's takeaways from the scene:

Compared to the New York Giants, they entered this NFC divisional round matchup as the better team on both sides of the ball.

For the Giants, the shellacking capped a season in which the organization over-performed by the standards of a new regime with first-year general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll.If LeBron James is tweeting about you with exclamation points, it's probably been a good night for your team. After the Giants could not convert a fourth down and the Eagles took over near midfield, Smith and Hurts connected for a 9-yard touchdown to make it 14-0. In the second quarter, eternal Giants killer Boston Scott -- 11 of his 19 career touchdowns have come against New York -- scored from 3 yards away following a nine-play drive in which the Eagles ran it eight times for a three-touchdown lead.

The first turnover of the game, a Jones interception, came when James Bradberry -- cut by the Giants this past offseason for salary-cap purposes -- jumped a slant route to Darius Slayton. Jones had to get rid of the ball because a blitz from the secondary went through the line untouched, a nice design by Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon.
