Giants End Philly Losing Streak With 19-11 Win

New York improved to 5-2-1 with the win, its first in Philadelphia since October 27, 2013. The Eagles fell to 2-7 after their fifth consecutive loss. Philadelphia led 8-6 at halftime, with Saquon Barkley scoring a touchdown and quarterback Joe Milton running in the two-point conversion.

Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy was hurt on a run early in the third quarter and left the field. Jameis Winston took over and directed a 14-play, 76-yard drive that used nearly eight minutes. He connected with Darnell Mooney for 27 yards before throwing a five-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely, putting New York ahead 13-8.

McCarthy returned after a brief stay in the locker room and finished with 127 passing yards, completing 12 of 19 attempts. Winston went 6-for-8 for 71 yards. Rookie kicker Dominic Zvada made all four of his field-goal attempts, including two from 49 yards and one from 53, as the Giants added to their lead.

Rookie linebacker Arvell Reese recorded 12 tackles and three sacks for New York. Milton, making his first NFL start, completed 18 of 34 passes for 169 yards. The Eagles scored a late field goal to make it 19-11, but the Giants held on.

New York is set to host Washington on November 12. The teams tied 27-27 in their previous meeting this season.
