Where would the NFL be without the leagues greatest rivalry? Over the years I’ve watched the Giants and Eagles battle like no other contest in sports. These two juggernauts have been clashing since 1933.
Seriously, try to name a better head to head confrontation in the sport. The rich history, the epic battles, and game changing dramatic plays. Sure, the Jets and Miami can be considered a rivalry, but remember the Jets and Dolphins didn’t enter into the NFL until the early to mid '60s.
The Browns vs. Steelers and a bit of Baltimore sprinkled in can give you a good game, but nothing like when the New York Giants play the Philadelphia Eagles. There’s only two hours of asphalt between these two teams, but years of electrifying moments.
