New York Giants can clinch playoff berth with win against NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles on 'Thursday Night Football'

NBC continues its coverage of "Thursday Night Football" this week, as Eli Manning and the New York Giants (10-4) aim to clinch a playoff berth with a win at Lincoln Financial Field against Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles (5-9). Coverage starts at 7:30 p.m. ET with "Football Night in Philadelphia" on NBC.

The Giants are coming off a 17-6 home win over the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions last week and are 8-1 in their last nine games. Manning passed for 201 yards and completed a pair of touchdown throws to WRs Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard in the victory. New York's defense has been dominant in the past two weeks, and has not allowed a touchdown in seven quarters, dating back to the first quarter of the Giants' 10-7 win against Dallas on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 14.

The Eagles have won four of their past five games against the Giants. Philadelphia suffered a 27-26 loss to the Ravens in Baltimore last week, as a two-point conversion failed in the final seconds of the game. RB Ryan Mathews rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown in the loss.

The Giants defeated the Eagles 28-23 in Week 9 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Manning threw four touchdown passes in the game, including a pair to Beckham Jr., while Wentz threw for 364 yards for the Eagles.
