New York Giants 16, Philadelphia Eagles 3
The Philadelphia Eagles never had a chance in this football game. Poor Donovan McNabb was sacked an amazing 12 times including 6 times by Giants’ DE Osi Umenyiora! McNabb only completed 15 of 31 passes for 138 yards with 0 TDs and 0 INTs. The Eagles played without Brian Westbrook but Correll Buckhalter had a good game. He carried the ball 17 times for 103 yards (6.1 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 35 yards (8.8 avg). WR Kevin Curtis only caught 2 passes for 21 yards (10.5 avg) showing what a difference 1 week can make. The Eagles rushed for 114 yards on 23 carries (5.0 ypc) and they completed 15 of 31 passes for 76 yards.
Can’t blame the Eagles defense for this loss as they played well. Safety Quintin Mikell (11 tackles) and linebacker Omar Gaither (10 tackles, interception) were both outstanding. The Giants finished up rushing for 83 yards on 27 carries (3.1 ypc) and they completed 14 of 26 passes for 129 yards.
