Giants End Philadelphia Drought With 19-11 Win Over Eagles

The Giants broke through in Philadelphia on November 8, defeating the Eagles 19-11 for their first win there since 2013. The victory kept New York atop the NFC East at 5-2-1, while Philadelphia fell to 2-7.

New York took control in the third quarter after quarterback JJ McCarthy left with a hip injury. Backup Jameis Winston directed a 14-play drive that covered 76 yards, ending with a five-yard touchdown pass to tight end Isaiah Likely. The score put the Giants ahead 13-8.

McCarthy completed 12 of 19 passes for 127 yards before departing. Winston went 6-for-8 for 71 yards and the touchdown. New York kicker Dominic Zvada made all four of his field-goal attempts, including one that extended the lead to 19-8 with 4:24 remaining.

The Giants defense sacked Eagles quarterback Joe Milton seven times in his first NFL start. Rookie linebacker Arvell Reese had 10 tackles and three sacks. Philadelphia got a field goal to close within eight, but its final possession ended at midfield with another sack.

New York’s offense struggled to run the ball without Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy. Devin Singletary gained 31 yards on 21 carries. The Giants also had to settle for a field goal after receiver Malik Nabers dropped a pass in the end zone late in the fourth quarter.
