Eagles’ Losing Streak Reaches Seven After Giants’ 19-11 Win

Philadelphia’s defense delivered its strongest outing of the season, but the offense could not make enough of it in the 19-11 loss to New York on November 8. The Eagles have now lost seven straight and enter their bye week at 2-7.

Milton completed 18 of 34 passes for 169 yards and was sacked seven times. He also ran for 64 yards, including a 24-yard scramble that helped set up a field goal late in the game. Saquon Barkley scored Philadelphia’s touchdown, but gained only 22 yards on 13 carries.

The Eagles had a chance to tie with a touchdown and two-point conversion in the closing minutes. Starting at their own 5-yard line, they reached the 43, but Milton was sacked on fourth-and-2 with six seconds left.

The defense recorded six sacks after entering the game with 10 through eight contests. It held the Giants to 243 total yards and 80 rushing yards, and forced a fumble on a muffed punt. New York still managed a 14-play scoring drive in the third quarter, then added two field goals.

Philadelphia’s offense has struggled to sustain drives, and its running game remains a concern. The Eagles have a bye next, followed by games against Pittsburgh, Dallas, Arizona and Indianapolis. The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, and changes to the roster could affect the team after the break.
