"Things have gone south quickly for the Giants after their upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles two weeks ago. A monumental collapse in Denver against the Broncos, fueled by the shoddy coaching of their defensive coordinator, was followed up by a slew of injuries that destroyed any semblance of momentum remaining on Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia, as the Eagles ran roughshod over Big Blue, 38-20 at Lincoln Financial Field."
"Rookie running back Cam Skattebo's season is likely over after he dislocated his ankle midway through the second quarter. On the defensive side of the ball, the Giants (2-6) were without 75% of their starting secondary. With starting cornerback Paulson Adebo and starting safety Jevon Holland, cornerback Cor'Dale Flott was forced out of the game in the second quarter when he suffered a concussion at the hand, or fist, of his own teammate, linebacker Bobby Okereke, who punched Flott after whiffing on an attempt to knock the ball loose."
"Eagles running back Saquon Barkley went off for his biggest game of the season, accruing 150 rushing yards with one rushing and one receiving touchdown before a groin injury ended his day on the final play of the third quarter. Backup running back Tank Bigsby went for 104 yards on nine carries, making this the first time since 2013 that they have two backs who rushed for 100-plus yards in the same game."
The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New York Giants 38-20 at Lincoln Financial Field, erasing New York's earlier momentum. A collapse in Denver and criticized defensive coaching preceded a string of injuries that crippled the Giants. Rookie running back Cam Skattebo likely suffered a season-ending dislocated ankle, and the team was missing most of its starting secondary. Cornerback Cor'Dale Flott left with a concussion after a punch from teammate Bobby Okereke. Saquon Barkley rushed for 150 yards with a rushing and receiving touchdown before a groin injury, while Tank Bigsby added 104 yards. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart finished 14-of-24 for 193 yards with a passing and rushing touchdown. Controversial officiating affected parts of the second quarter.
