NFL: New York Mayor Eric Adams slammed on social media for bad Philadelphia prediction

‘I should have stayed in New York!’: Social media mocks Mayor Eric Adams after he claimed the Giants are ‘going to the Super Bowl’ in a Philly video… only to be WAY behind in the first one half of the competition playoff or die
New York Mayor Eric Adams may soon be hitting the delete button on his latest social media post, after his NFL Giants prediction went wrong.
Adams was in Philadelphia on Saturday night to watch the Giants’ do-or-die playoff game against the Eagles, and he seemed very confident going into kickoff.
Speaking from field level at Lincoln Financial Field, the New York mayor said: ‘This is the one, this is the big one. I’m here with our team. We’re going to win this, and when we do, we’re going straight to the Super Bowl.
‘Go Giants, Big Blue in the house.’
New York Mayor Eric Adams was confident that the Giants would beat the Eagles in Philadelphia.
Things went south, very quickly, with Philadelphia recording four touchdowns in the first half.
Bad first half for New York, who went to halftime 28 points behind their rivals
Unfortunately for Adams, and the Giants’ fan base, his prediction was far from correct, with New York giving up FOUR touchdowns in the first half to go up 28-0 at halftime.
Social media also pounced on Adams, with one user writing: “I should have stayed in New York lol.”
Another added: ‘Quick L’, while one noted: ‘Big time jinx’.
There were some concerns among Philadelphia fans about Jalen Hurts’ injury, but he threw three touchdowns and rushed in another to put the Eagles in cruise control.
Although they’re not out yet, it would take a second-half miracle for the Giants to come back and book their spot in the NFC Championship Game.

Brian Daboll’s team entered the second half needing a miracle at Lincoln Financial Field
Daniel Jones proved to be a very shrewd quarterback in 2022 and helped New York go to 9-7 in the regular season to book a playoff spot.
They then defeated the Vikings in the Super Wild Card round, winning 31-24 in Minnesota to raise hopes of a miracle playoff run, but things fell apart in Philadelphia on Saturday.
Perhaps most frustrating for Brian Daboll and his players, the fights came against an NFC East rival in the Eagles.
