Boston Scott

The New York Giants should be afraid — not of Jalen Hurts or A.J. Brown, but Boston Scott.

Scott is the Giant-killer. He's 6-2 against New York and he has scored 10 of his 17 career touchdowns against the Giants.

He knows when and how to show up when the Giants come to town.

The first time Philadelphia played New York in 2022, Scott tallied six carries and 33 yards. But the career success surrounding Scott and the Giants is somewhat ironic.

He can't explain it.

“I feel God has a sense of humor and why the heck is one of the smallest players having those types of games against a team called the Giants,” he said. “It’s amazing what a little faith will do. We all have Giants in our lives and it’s different for each person.”

Scott also scored a touchdown in the rematch against the Giants in the last game of the season. It was an eight-yard run in a 22-16 victory.

“It’s playoff football, man, that’s what I’m excited about,” he said. “It’s a blessing to get to this point of the season. We put in a lot of work, and we want it for the guys who have been here for a long time, vets who put the foundation in place.

“So, to get a chance to compete for the pinnacle of NFL football, that’s what really excited me the most. We have a good opponent coming in. It doesn’t really matter who it is. I’m excited because it’s playoff football.”

Out of all the weapons the Eagles have, Scott is probably the most unassuming — still, he's a factor.
