EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Lawrence Tynes, who kicked the game-winning field goal in the NFC championship a year ago, was active for the Giants’ divisional playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, giving them two kickers for the grudge match between the longtime rivals.
Tynes, who has a much stronger leg than 44-year-old John Carney, is expected to handle the kickoffs and the long field goal attempts. Carney will handle the normal field goal attempts and extra points.
The only surprising inactive for New York was backup defensive end Dave Tollefson, whose 3.5 sacks was fourth best on the team.
ladelphia’s win over Minnesota last weekend.
