Overview
- New York closed out Week 6’s Thursday night in East Rutherford with a 34-17 upset of the defending champions, handing Philadelphia consecutive losses for the first time since late 2023.
- Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart totaled 253 yards with a passing touchdown and a rushing score, while fellow rookie Cam Skattebo ran 19 times for 98 yards and three touchdowns.
- Jalen Hurts’ first interception of the season came in the fourth quarter at the New York 15 and set up Skattebo’s third TD, capping a night when the Eagles lost the turnover battle.
- Philadelphia went 1-for-9 on third down as New York converted 9-of-13, with the Eagles’ ongoing rushing struggles, protection issues and defensive breakdowns drawing fresh scrutiny.
- The upset defied pregame forecasts that favored Philadelphia by about a touchdown with a roughly 77% win probability, as New York won despite missing top receivers Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton and with key Eagles defenders unavailable or leaving hurt.
