The Eagles motioned Kern into the slot and then had Blankenship hard count to try to get the Giants offside. On 3rd-and-17, Hurts completed to DeVonta short of the sticks to bring up a punt. and the QB was fortunate to be able to recover the ball. The offense got set back with Hurts looking to take a shot but instead getting strip-sacked. Two Boston Scott runs went for another first down. Hurts to an open Goedert kicked off a drive with a 23-yard gain.Only took until 6:15 remaining in the third quarter. The Giants got to 1st-and-goal from the 8-yard line and broke out a tricky direct snap to Barkley, who handed off to Matt Breida for the Giants’ first score of the night. On third down, Jones was able to run for a first. The Giants drove to 3rd-and-2 from the Eagles’ 23-yard line. Saquon broke a run that looked like it might go to the house but Marcus Epps was able to take out the running back’s legs from behind to limit the damage to 39 yards. Also kudos to Brett Kern for his longest punt of the season at 56 yards. The result of Zech McPhearson making a nice ST tackle on punt coverage was the Giants starting at their own 12-yard line.The Giants went four-and-out and then the Eagles took a knee to end a dominant first half. They took a timeout and Jake Elliott came in for the extra point. but it was just an attempt to see if the Giants might jump offside, apparently. Nick Sirianni curiously lined up to go for two. The Eagles got to 2nd-and-goal at the 5-yard line after a Giants unnecessary penalty and Hurts immediately took off running after taking the shotgun snap for the Eagles’ fourth touchdown. With the defense shifting over to cover a quick throw to DeVonta, the receiver cut back and maybe could’ve gone the distance had he not been tackled/tripped up by Isaac Seumalo.

The bad involved the Eagles going a bit cold in the second half. The Giants had absolutely no answer for Haason Reddick. Jonathan Gannon’s defense, meanwhile, did a great job of harassing Daniel Jones early and often. And so did the Eagles’ running backs, who had success on the ground. Despite telling Pam Oliver that his shoulder is “ nowhere near 100%” for a pregame interview, Jalen Hurts threw the ball well. Philly’s first five drives produced four touchdowns for a 28-0 lead at halftime. The good involved the offense getting off to a hot start. This game was reminiscent of the early season 2022 Eagles.
