Giants Stun Eagles 34-17 on Thursday Night as Rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo Shine

The upset flips pregame expectations that heavily favored Philadelphia.

Overview

  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart totaled 253 yards with two touchdowns (195 passing, 58 rushing) and running back Cam Skattebo rushed for 98 yards and three scores to power New York.
  • Jalen Hurts threw his first interception in 305 regular-season attempts, a pick returned 68 yards by Cordale Flott that set up Skattebo’s third touchdown and effectively sealed the game.
  • Philadelphia has dropped two straight with mounting concerns on both sides of the ball, going 1-for-9 on third down, losing the turnover battle, and being outgained again (366-339).
  • The Eagles were without left guard Landon Dickerson and had DT Jalen Carter inactive, then lost CB Quinyon Mitchell to a hamstring issue, while the Giants produced despite missing Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton.
  • Sportsbooks and models had installed the Eagles as roughly 7–7.5 point favorites with a 77% win probability, but the Giants’ 34-17 win at MetLife Stadium upends that outlook ahead of a Week 8 rematch in Philadelphia.
