Giants’ Defensive Shift Fuels Upset of Eagles After Bowen Turns Up Pressure

Players credit open communication with Shane Bowen for a tactical change that produced consistent pressure on Jalen Hurts.

Overview

  • Head coach Brian Daboll told Bowen to be aggressive and to hold nothing back in the game plan against Philadelphia.
  • Brian Burns recorded two third-down sacks in the win and now ranks third in the NFL with seven this season.
  • New York generated two takeaways, including Cor'Dale Flott’s late interception that followed a seven-man blitz.
  • Bowen diversified the rush with simulated pressures, twists, and fronts that paired Burns with rookie Abdul Carter to stress protections.
  • Run defense has tightened over the past two games at 161 yards on 50 carries as the season-long yards-per-carry allowed drops to 5.1, though overall rankings remain low.
