Giants at Eagles Week 8 preview: 3 things to watch | amNewYork
"Big Blue was flying high after trouncing the defending Super Bowl-champion and division-rival Philadelphia Flyers 34-17 in Week 6 and was less than six minutes away from moving to within one game under .500 last Sunday in Denver against the Broncos. From leads of 19-0 and 26-8, to losing 33-32, the Giants are licking their wounds as they head to Philadelphia for another matchup against an Eagles team that will be keen on righting the wrongs from two Thursdays ago."
"Dart is continuing to come into his own, having passed for 478 yards with six total touchdowns compared to one turnover over his last two games. The dual threat has already won the praises of Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who was quick to point out that the rest of the league missed out on a special talent. One lesson is learned, and the teams that need quarterbacks that bypass them, they're going to regret that, Fangio said."
New York rebounded from a Week 6 rout of the defending champions but then squandered large leads in Denver, turning 19-0 and 26-8 advantages into a 33-32 loss. The Giants travel to Philadelphia where the Eagles will be focused on correcting the prior Thursday's mistakes. Rookie Jaxson Dart has energized the offense, passing for 478 yards with six total touchdowns and one turnover over his last two games and compiling 10 total touchdowns across his first four starts. Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio praised Dart's athleticism, scrambling and deep accuracy, warning teams that bypassed him will regret it. Coaching decisions and late-game defensive breakdowns remain concerns.
