Philadelphia Eagles 40, New York Giants 17
The Philadelphia Eagles made a statement in this game and crushed the New York Giants. The Eagles offense was able to make a bunch of huge plays, and it all started in the first quarter when Leanard Weaver darted 41 yards for a touchdown. The Eagles built a big 17-0 lead early in the half and went into halftime up 31-7. McNabb had a great game, throwing for 240 yards and three touchdowns on 17/23 attempts. McNabb’s favorite target in this game was DeSean Jackson, who caught 3 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown came on a 54-yard strike from McNabb in the second quarter. Brian Westbrook sat out with a concussion, but LeSean McCoy and Leonard Weaver did a great job filling in for him. They combined for 157 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries.
The Eagles defense did a very good job disrupting Eli Manning and the Giants passing game. They picked off Manning twice, but he did find the endzone once. He only completed about 50% of his passes though (20/39) and did not look very confident. They did an okay job slowing their run game down, as Brandon Jacobs got 86 yards on 20 carries but did not score. The special teams were able to recover a fumble too, so the Eagles got contributions from the whole team. This was a big win for the Eagles as they completely outplayed the Giants in this one.
