New York Giants out of playoffs despite thrashing Philadelphia Eagles

Giants out of playoffs despite win

Eli Manning completed five touchdown passes as the New York Giants thrashed the Philadelphia Eagles in their final game of the season.

Reuben Randle caught two touchdown passes in the opening quarter to put the Giants in control of the game.

David Wilson, Victor Cruz and Henry Hynoski were Manning's other targets, while Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for a touchdown.

Jeremy Maclin scored the Eagles' only touchdown of the game in the second quarter.

Quarterback Michael Vick returned to the field for Philadelphia, having missed the second half of the season with a concussion.

Despite the victory, the reigning Super Bowl champions will not be defending their crown, as wins by the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings meant they could not clinch a playoff berth.
