Giants Stun Eagles 34-17 on TNF as Rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo Power Upset

The loss sharpened scrutiny of Philadelphia’s protection, rushing woes, defensive injuries.

Overview

  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart threw for 195 yards and a touchdown and added 58 rushing yards with another score, while fellow rookie Cam Skattebo ran for 98 yards and three touchdowns.
  • Jalen Hurts’ first interception in 305 regular-season attempts was returned 68 yards and set up Skattebo’s third score, a pivotal swing in the fourth quarter.
  • Philadelphia finished 1-for-9 on third down and continued to struggle on the ground behind a battered line with left guard Landon Dickerson out and center Cam Jurgens limited.
  • An Eagles defense without inactive DT Jalen Carter and later CB Quinyon Mitchell, who exited with a hamstring issue, yielded early scoring drives to a Giants offense missing Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton.
  • The defeat marked Philadelphia’s second straight loss and defied betting and analytic models that had installed the Eagles as sizable favorites on the short week.
