Game Recap: Giants vs. Eagles

A different type of contact

The Giants, early in the second quarter, had to take a timeout after Jones' contact lens came out after a 1-yard run. The Eagles forced a three-and-out on the drive, thanks in large part to a bang-bang tackle made by Bradberry on wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins, who caught the ball at the first-down line, but juggled it, and the tackle kept him short of the sticks.

A Philly welcome

Super Bowl Champions Brent Celek, Malcolm Jenkins, and Torrey Smith were shown on the videoboards during a second-quarter break, which sent the sold-out crowd at the Linc into a frenzy. To make it even better, former Giants quarterback Eli Manning was shown on the boards, much to the delight of the Philly faithful.

Yes, Boston Scott scores a TD to make it 21-0

You just knew he was going to get the ball. Boston Scott scored his 11th (out of his 18 total) career touchdown against the New York Giants with 7:29 remaining in the first half to extend the Eagles' lead to 21-0.

The run capped a nine-play, 63-yard drive as the Eagles grinded the ball out on the ground. Miles Sanders had six runs to open the drive, as eight of the nine plays were runs.

Jalen Hurts TD run extends lead to 28-0

QB1 did the work himself to cap off a 14-play, 72-yard drive with a 5-yard touchdown run to make it 28-0 with 43 seconds left in the first half. The Eagles ran the ball seven times on the drive, with an 18-yard run by Sanders and a 10-yard run by Scott as the key plays on the drive.
