The New York Giants defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 34-17 in a prime-time game, marking a significant upset over the reigning Super Bowl champions and handing the Eagles their second consecutive loss after they were previously unbeaten.

Rookies Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart were instrumental in the victory, with Skattebo rushing for three touchdowns, including two from the 1-yard line and one from 4 yards out, while Dart contributed a 20-yard rushing touchdown and a 35-yard passing touchdown to Wan'Dale Robinson.

Coach Brian Daboll praised their resilience and mindset, noting that they used the adversity to grow stronger and demonstrated a commitment to playing hard for each other.

The Giants' defense played a key role by sacking Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts three times, with Brian Burns recording two sacks to tie for the NFL lead, and intercepting a pass by Hurts, which was his first interception of the season. Hurts missed a potential touchdown by overthrowing a wide-open DeVonta Smith and acknowledged his mistakes, vowing to improve.

For the Eagles, this loss represents their first back-to-back defeats since the end of the 2023 regular season and playoffs, highlighting ongoing struggles to find their identity.
