Eagles snap count vs. Giants: Breakdown, observations from 27-10 loss in Week 18

The Eagles are taking the restart approach to the postseason after a disappointing 27-10 loss to the New York Giants in the regular season finale.

Philadelphia was already without DeVonta Smith and Darius Slay and lost A.J. Brown to a knee injury that’s not considered serious. After quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a finger injury and Dallas started to pull away from Washington, head coach Nick Sirianni pulled his remaining starters.

With preparation for the Monday night matchup against the Buccaneers to begin on Wednesday, we’re looking at the snap count and playing time percentages from Sunday’s loss.
