The New York Giants headed down the New Jersey Turnpike on Sunday to face the Philadelphia Eagles, hoping to strengthen their lead in the NFC East.
J.J. McCarthy made his second straight start, while the Eagles turned to Joe Milton for his first career start at quarterback.
The Giants had difficulty moving the ball throughout the afternoon. Despite struggling to generate pressure all season, the Eagles applied relentless pressure on McCarthy. He was injured on a quarterback run early in the third quarter but returned after Jameis Winston led the Giants to a go-ahead touchdown.
Trailing 8-6 at halftime, the Giants put together another strong second half and found a way to win.
Arvell Reese had an impressive outing with three sacks, including one
that forced a fumble.
Kicker Dominic Zvada went 4-for-4 on field goals after struggling in recent weeks.
The Giants stalled on their final drive while leading 19-11, giving the Eagles a chance to tie the game. The defense held off Philadelphia’s final possession to seal the victory.
With the win, the Giants snapped a 13-year losing streak in Philadelphia and improved to 5-2-1 on the season. Here’s how X reacted.

Fitting end for Dennard Wilson, sends a blitz and prevents Milton from even attempting a Hail Mary.

Arvell Reese just became the FIRST rookie in NFL history (dating back to 1999) to record all of the following in a single game:

AN ABSOLUTELY INSANE PERFORMANCE. 🤯 pic.twitter.com/1IetAr8Nnt
What a beautifully ugly win for the New York Football Giants. Defense, coaching and grit. What a treat it is to root for a team like this. 5-2-1. NFC East sucks. What a world

The Giants are winning this division. They have enough talent and are clearly better coached. Rest of the NFC is a joke. MAKE A TRADE FOR A RUNNING BACK (Jonathan Taylor)
