Eagles' Ndamukong Suh takes a savage dig at Giants following playoff thrashing
Ndamukong Suh is well known for being an outspoken NFL player. He rarely holds back when he is adamant about something and has been no stranger to trash-talking throughout his career. This has taken various forms, including on the football field as well as in the media, such as his public feud with Aaron Rodgers over the years.
Suh was at it again on Sunday morning following the Philadelphia Eagles' dominant victory against the New York Giants on Saturday night during the divisional round of the 2022 NFL Playoffs. He went on his Twitter account the day after the 38-7 annihilation of their NFC East rivals to ask a taunting question.
"Anyone seen the Giants? Couldn't find them yesterday."
Anyone seen the Giants? Couldn't find them yesterday.
Ndamukong Suh is basically claiming the Giants failed to show up to their playoff matchup with the Eagles. He's not wrong. The Giants trailed 14-0 after the first quarter and were being blown out 28-0 by halftime. Their first and only score of the entire game was a touchdown that came halfway through the third quarter.
The Eagles shut down everything the Giants attempted to do offensively. Quarterback Daniel Jones was particularly disappointing after his breakout postseason performance against the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild Card round. He recorded just 159 total yards with zero touchdowns and an interception in this massacre against the Eagles.
While Ndamukong Suh definitely has bragging rights due to his team's success in this game, he failed to make much of an individual impact. He has served mostly as a depth player for the Eagles' defensive line during the 2022 NFL season, the apparent tail end of his career.
Why did the Eagles sign Ndamukong Suh?
After spending the last two years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ndamukong Suh entered the 2022 NFL season as a free agent. He remained in free agency until Week 11 before eventually signing a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was one of several midseason moves made by the Eagles to improve their defensive line, one of their biggest weaknesses in the first half of the year.
In addition to Suh, the Eagles also signed Linval Joseph the same week, just a few days prior. Three weeks before that, they acquired Robert Quinn via trade from the Chicago Bears. They joined offseason additions Haason Reddick and rookie Jordan Davis to transform one of their biggest weaknesses into a relative strength.
