New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles NFL Week 9 Live Updates, Highlights, and Analysis
The Philadelphia Eagles host NFC East divisional rival, the New York Giants. A battle between two teams that are heading in different directions.
The Giants outlasted the Eagles with a 19-11 victory. The Giants close out the game with a sack, which is quite apropos, given that both defenses dominated the opposing offensive lines.
The Giants' two-quarterback system combined for 18 of 27, 198 yards and a touchdown. Joe Milton went 18 of 34, threw for 169 yards, and added 64 yards on the ground.
Philly's supporting cast dropped four of Milton's passes, and Elijah Mitchell made a mind-numbing decision to stay inbounds instead of getting out to stop the clock. Self-inflicted wounds hurt the Eagles' chances of winning this game.
This game was won and lost in the trenches. Both defensive fronts dominated their matchups and bullied their way into the backfield all game.
The Giants continue their winning ways, going to 5-2-1, and the Eagles fall to 2-7.
