The Eagles won 33-25 against the Giants, marking their season record 11-4. Jalen Hurts threw a great 32-yard pass to A.J. Brown in the fourth quarter, showing the team’s need for big plays. The Eagles had many impressive plays in the game, especially on offense.

With key contributions from players like Grant Calcaterra and De’Andre Swift, the team looked balanced. Calcaterra was targeted four times, wherein he pulled off his two, keeping the second offensive possession alive. On the other hand, Swift helped in leading the team by rushing for 92 yards and a score.

The defense, led by Fletcher Cox and Shaquille Leonard, played well from the start. Cox tackled Saquan Barkley after he gained two yards on the first play. After that, Leonard rushed from the backside and stopped Barkley, causing him to lose 1 yard. Coach Matt Patricia used different defensive players, including rookies, to see how the team handles different situations.

Hasson Reddick stood out with strong defensive moves, like another crucial tackle on Barkley for a 4-yard TFL. Despite being affected by turnovers, including a pick six and fumbles, the Eagles offense showed good balance with seven players catching passes, improving their efficiency in the red zone.
