Think the Eagles are savoring their win over the Giants?
Here was Ndamukong Suh on Twitter Sunday morning in the wake of Philadelphia’s 38-7 decimation: “Anyone seen the Giants? Couldn’t find them yesterday.”
Fletcher Cox got in his shots, too.
“Take over what trap,” he tweeted, with eight crying-laughing emojis attached.
It figures that the Eagles heard a lot of the talk coming from East Rutherford this week about how the Giants could pull off the upset. And after beating their rivals for the third time this season, and with ease, some of them felt at liberty to rub it in.

It was the biggest margin of the three Eagles wins over the Giants this season, with the closest game being in Week 18 when the Giants rested their starters.

The trash talk is, at least, well earned.
