2. Somehow find a way to silence RB Boston Scott

We would love to watch one Giants vs. Eagles game and not see Boston Scott celebrate in the end zone. It’s almost like this guy was born to score against the G-Men. In his career, Scott has played New York eight times. In those contests, No. 35 has managed to record 10 total touchdowns. Give us a break.

Scott has never suited up against the Giants and not scored, which needs to end in the Divisional Round. It’s not just Scott that the defensive line will need to focus on. Miles Sanders had a monster game against the Giants in the first matchup of ’22 between these two sides, recording 144 rushing yards and two scores.

Dexter Lawrence, Leonard Williams, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Azeez Ojulari (if he can play) and the rest of the guys up front will have their hands full in trying to slow down those two RBs. In the win over Minnesota last Sunday, Dalvin Cook carried the ball 15 times, but only for 60 yards. The big boys up front stepped up to limit one of the best RBs in the NFC to a quiet game. Let’s see if they can have a repeat showing in Philly.
