Neither team managed to score for the rest of the half, with the Giants getting four possessions and the Eagles five.

The Giants scored the only points of the third quarter to take their first lead since the opening quarter. McCarthy exited early in the third quarter after a 3-yard run and was deemed questionable to return with a hip injury, prompting Winston to step in at quarterback.

Winston connected with tight end Isaiah Likely for a touchdown on his first full drive of the quarter, giving New York a 13-8 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

McCarthy returned to start the fourth quarter, leading the Giants on a 6:11 drive that ended with a successful field goal.

Eagles punter Mann made a costly mistake, fumbling the snap before shanking his kick out of bounds while scrambling. The botched play resulted in a negative-2-yard punt, giving the Giants prime field position. New York capitalized with another field goal to take a two-score lead with 4:24 remaining.

Philadelphia added a field goal just after the two-minute warning before attempting an onside kick, but Malik Nabers recovered it for the Giants.

A quick three-and-out gave the ball back to Philadelphia with 1:32 remaining and a chance to tie the game.

The Eagles converted on fourth down to keep their hopes alive, but a costly mistake by running back Elijah Mitchell, who failed to get out of bounds, helped set up the Giants' win. New York sacked Milton the final play of the game to seal the victory and cap a dominant defensive performance.

New York will face Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders on Thursday night, with kickoff scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET, while Philadelphia heads into its bye week.
