Last night was a big night for the Giants. They faced the Eagles and won decisively, 34-17. This victory brings the Giants’ record to 2-4, while the Eagles now sit at 4-2, marking their first back-to-back losses since early last season.
This loss was especially tough for the Eagles. Last year, they were in the same spot at 4-2, but it’s clear the team isn’t quite the same this time around. Their recent performance raises questions about their consistency and strategy moving forward.
Cam Skattebo was the star of the game, scoring three touchdowns. His runs of 4, 1, and 1 yard in the second half secured the win for the Giants, who led at halftime 20-17.
Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart showed impressive growth, completing 17 of 25 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 58 yards and another touchdown. His short absence for a concussion check didn’t deter him, as he returned and finished strong.
The offense also saw solid contributions from Wan’Dale Robinson, who caught six passes for 84 yards and a touchdown. The Giants outgained the Eagles overall, racking up 366 total yards to Philadelphia’s 339.
However, the Eagles struggled with turnovers in the fourth quarter, which halted any chances of a comeback. Giants cornerback Cor’Dale Flott made a crucial interception, returning it 68 yards. Just moments later, a fumble by A.J. Dillon, forced by Dane Belton, added to the Eagles’ woes.
On the Eagles’ side, Jalen Hurts completed 24 of 33 passes for 283 yards, adding a touchdown but also throwing an interception. A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert were key targets, with Brown catching six passes for 80 yards and Goedert logging nine receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown.
This game highlights the shifting dynamics in the league. According to recent statistics, teams that start strong often maintain their momentum, but the Eagles will need to address their recent struggles to stay competitive in the playoff race. Meanwhile, the Giants are finding their rhythm. They could be a team to watch as the season progresses.
