Overview

  • New York improved to 2-4 with a 34-17 Thursday night win at MetLife, converting 11 of 16 third downs as Philadelphia fell to 4-2.
  • Rookie QB Jaxson Dart went 17-of-25 for 195 yards with a passing TD and 60 rushing yards plus a rushing score, while rookie RB Cam Skattebo ran for 98 yards and three touchdowns.
  • Short-handed at receiver, the Giants still produced key plays from Wan’Dale Robinson (6 catches, 84 yards, TD) and practice-squad call-up Lil’Jordan Humphrey (4 for 55, including a pivotal 34-yarder on third-and-12).
  • The Eagles lost CB Quinyon Mitchell to a hamstring injury and had DT Jalen Carter inactive with a heel issue, managed just one sack, juggled corners Kelee Ringo and Adoree’ Jackson, and were out‑physicaled, players said.
  • Philadelphia’s offense sputtered with a missed deep strike to an uncovered DeVonta Smith, a fourth-quarter Jalen Hurts interception and a late Saquon Barkley fumble, drawing locker-room candor about predictability as local analysis questioned the roster depth shaped this offseason; the team now gets a mini-bye before visiting Minnesota on Oct. 19.
