Overview
- Joe Milton made his first start on Nov. 8, completing 18 of 34 passes for 169 yards, rushing for 64 yards and taking seven sacks in a 19-11 loss that dropped Philadelphia to 2-7.
- The Eagles replaced Tanner McKee with Milton this week after McKee lost three starts, seeking a spark but finding mixed individual plays rather than a clear offensive turnaround.
- Philadelphia managed just 220 total yards against the Giants, and coverage singled out offensive-line regression under new line coach Chris Kuper following longtime coach Jeff Stoutland’s departure.
- Head coach Nick Sirianni called Milton’s outing a “mixed bag,” and reporting says offensive coordinator Sean Mannion faces mounting scrutiny as the club prepares to use the bye to reassess schemes and personnel.
- Players described steady effort and focus in the locker room, but analysts say the loss deepens the losing streak and signals that fixes will need to extend beyond another quarterback change before the team can recover.
