It could be a clean sweep. “I thought every game we were well-prepared; we had a good plan; and we just didn’t make plays in critical moments of the game to win”.

Thompson lifts short-handed Warriors over Rockets
Her daughter, Julie Tredemeyer, got her the best Christmas present her heart could handle: tickets to the Warriors-Mavericks game. Rockets led through the first seven minutes of the game with a couple of 3’s from Harden and a strong effort defensively.
Sunday’s season finale was more than a little unusual for the Eagles’ players.

The Christmas message – a time-honored British tradition – will be posted on the royal YouTube channel for maximum exposure. Prince William has admitted he would be in for a challenging Christmas thanks to his son Prince George.
There have been reports that Coughlin will resign, and some point to his having his family on the sideline at the end of the game as evidence of that.
After facing backlash in India, Facebook’s ‘Free Basics’ Blocked in Egypt
Consultation paper always asks a question, seeking responses with justification. It is not the first time Facebook’s Free Basics service has run into trouble.
Coughlin’s decision to put off a decision meant there would be no ovation waiting for him when he walked onto the field Sunday, nor a pre-game montage.
Unfortunately, if this was Coughlin’s last game, his team was unable to send him off with a win.
Philadelphia Eagles strong safety Walter Thurmond (26) intercepts a pass intended for New York Giants running back Shane Vereen (34) as Philadelphia Eagles inside linebacker DeMeco Ryans (59) looks on during the third quarter of an NFL football game, Sunday, Jan. 3, 2016, in East Rutherford, N.J. Thurmond ran the interception 85 yards back for a touchdown.
“Everyone in this organization tried real hard not to talk about it, but we knew who we were playing this game for, and let’s finish”, Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara said. Watch Eagles vs Giants online free live streaming today and expect different head coaches for both teams next season.
Kelly was given control of personnel moves this season and he made a lot of bad ones, releasing three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson, trading two-time All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy and signing running back DeMarco Murray.
Big Blue showed just why there are likely significant changes on the horizon, as the Eagles (7-9) raced to an early 14-0 lead, allowed the Giants to take a fleeting lead, only to bury their nemesis in the fourth quarter.
“That’s definitely going to be a factor”, Bradford said.
Josh Brown’s 48-yard field goal, his third of the game, pulled the Giants within 35-30 with 4:30 to go.
Rashad Jennings also ran for 170 yards in the win – he added one touchdown. Manning hit Reuben Randle for a 45-yard touchdown. That is a guy that has so much command in the room, so much respect amongst his peers and us.
Bradford’s second touchdown pass of the game to Jordan Matthews (7 catches, 54 yards) gave the Eagles an eight-point cushion with 9:19 to play. Maybe more telling is that Murray had eight games this year with the Eagles in which he had fewer than 54 yards rushing. On Sunday, Shurmur wanted his players to disregard the unknown of the future and just worry about three hours of football. “I want him to be my coach”.
The Eagles opened the game with their quick-strike offense.
Zach Ertz (9 catches, career-best 152 yards) was instrumental in tacking on a second touchdown with a career-long 60-yard pass from Bradford (30-for-38, 320 yards). That’s very old considering the average age of coaches in the NFL. Learning an entirely new system can be tricky and for someone like Bradford who has learned more systems than the Eagles have Quarterbacks right now, it’s only going to prevent progress.
Meriweather ultimately exited with a sprained knee before his replacement, Trumaine McBride, left with a concussion. With the loss dropping the Giants to 6-10 on the season, they finish third in the NFC East, setting up their home and road opponents for 2016 and giving them what is a weaker schedule on paper because they will be facing the third place team, not second place, in the other NFC divisions.

The Eagles had an opportunity to knock the breath out of the Giants on the next series, but Bradford aired a deep throw just off the hand of Riley Cooper, who was single-covered, on third-and-eight.
