The Eagles’ 19-11 loss to the Giants produced an unusual statistical combination: Philadelphia consistently disrupted New York’s offense while struggling to operate its own. Six sacks and strong run defense kept the game close, but seven sacks allowed and one touchdown left the Eagles short again.
These 10 numbers explain how Philadelphia fell to 2-7 entering its bye.
1. Seven consecutive losses
The Eagles have lost every game since their 2-0 start. Sunday’s defeat extended the streak to seven and left the coaching staff facing another week of questions about offensive production.
2. Six sacks by Philadelphia
The Eagles entered with 10 sacks through eight games and added six Sunday. Zack Baun had two, with four teammates recording one each.
3. Seven sacks allowed
New York fell behind in the sack-count comparison early but finished
with seven. Those plays cost Philadelphia 41 yards and repeatedly disrupted Milton’s first start.
4. Only 28 rushing yards from the backs
Saquon Barkley gained 22 yards on 13 carries, and Elijah Mitchell added six on three attempts. Together, they averaged 1.8 yards per carry.
5. Milton supplies 64 rushing yards
Milton accounted for 64 of Philadelphia’s 92 rushing yards. His mobility helped the offense, but the distribution showed how little the conventional ground game contributed.
6. Five conversions on 18 third downs
Philadelphia converted 27.8% of its third-down opportunities. Repeated failures kept the Eagles from maintaining possession and gave their defense extended breaks.
7. One success in three fourth-down attempts
The Eagles failed on fourth-and-1 during the first half and ended their final possession on downs. Their fourth-down results added to an afternoon of missed opportunities.
8. Three points after the first quarter
Philadelphia scored eight points on its touchdown possession and added only a fourth-quarter field goal. New York outscored the Eagles 13-3 after halftime.
9. Giants possess the ball for 34:45
New York held the ball 9:30 longer than Philadelphia. Its 14-play touchdown possession and 13-play field-goal drive helped turn the game after halftime.
10. Mann’s punts range from 86 to minus-2 yards
Braden Mann delivered an extraordinary 86-yard punt but later recorded a minus-2-yard punt. The contrast captured an afternoon in which impressive individual moments did not produce a complete team performance.
