It was a matchup of two teams out of the playoff picture, both facing coaching upheaval.
The Eagles (7-9) didn't wait for the end of the season to start changing things. Chip Kelly was fired on Tuesday after Philadelphia missed the playoffs for the second straight season, a year many expected it to challenge for the Super Bowl.
"The reality is that we were all out there just doing our jobs, and they had fun doing it," interim Eagles coach Pat Shurmur said. "Because they played a whale of game, they get to experience that feeling you get when you win a football game one last time."
Sam Bradford, who Kelly acquired from the Rams, threw two short touchdown passes to Jordan Matthews, the last one a 3-yarder with 9:19 to play to give the Eagles a 35-27 lead.
Walter Thurmond scored on an 83-yard fumble return in the third quarter against his old team as the Eagles beat the New York Giants 35-30 on Sunday.
Having fun.
The biggest play came late in the third quarter with the Giants looking to expand a 27-21 lead. They had a first down at the Eagles 15 after a holding call, and Manning went back to pass. He was hit by Connor Barwin and the ball fluttered into the flat. Thurmond grabbed the ball, fought off a tackle attempt by Shane Vereen and ran untouched for the touchdown. The play was originally called an interception,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, but was later changed to a fumble recovery.
It was the third consecutive loss for the Giants (6-10) and they finished a third straight losing season and a fourth straight year out of the playoffs. Those failures have put coach Tom Coughlin's job in jeopardy.
"This season wasn't what anyone wished for or thought of," Murray said. "Obviously,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, we have to reflect on it,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, and it makes us a lot hungrier."
Philadelphia scored touchdowns on drive of 80, 85, 80 and 91 yards. Murray capped the first with a season-long run. Sproles scored after a 60-yard catch and run by tight end Zach Ertz,NFL Jerseys Cheap, and Bradford and Matthews connected on a 4-yard TD pass.
Rashad Jennings rushed for a season-high 170 yards and scored a touchdown for the Giants. Eli Manning threw touchdown passes of 9 yards to Will Tye and 45 to Rueben Randle, with both scores set up by turnovers forced by the Giants' leaky defense.
After meeting with Shurmur at midfield, Coughlin walked off the field, waving to the crowd just before walking into the tunnel.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles concluded a disappointing season with a victory by adding an element that had been missing most of the year.
Kelly was given control of personnel moves this season and he made a lot of bad ones, including trading two-time All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy and signing running back DeMarco Murray.
Murray scored on a 54-yard run and Darren Sproles on a 6-yard as the Eagles used long drives and long returns to beat the Giants once again.

Bradford was given more freedom to change plays at the line of scrimmage.
Josh Brown added his third field goal for the Giants with 4:30 to go to cut the gap to five points,Cheap NHL Jerseys, and New York's defense got the ball back with 1:43 to play. However, the Giants turned the ball over on downs at their 42 with 28 seconds left.
"It was tough, but it would have been even tougher if we had to go into the offseason with a loss," said Bradford, who was 30 of 38 for 320 yards. "They fought tremendously hard. I thought the guys up front did a great job protecting me. I was really proud of the effort."
"There really wasn't much different to our plan than when coach Kelly was here," Shurmur said. "We just utilized some of our plays in a little bit different way. I thought the guys were focused."
The Eagles' offense ran smoother, eliminating most of the false start and illegal formations that plagued the team all season in Kelly's fast-paced style.
