Eagles ‘D’ Did the Job
When the Eagles walked off the field on Sunday as victors over the defending Super Bowl champion Giants, many fans thanked and praised the Eagles defense for yet another strong performance.
The Eagles defense, for a second straight week, dominated their opponent’s offense and their rushing game.
Also, the Eagles defense dominated the Giants offense for a second straight game, especially their running game.
On Sunday, Brandon Jacobs ran for 92 yards on 19 carries while Derrick Ward picked up 46 yards on 12 attemtps.
Eli Manning threw for only 169 yards on 12 completions. He threw zero touchdown passes to two interceptions.
Tight end Kevin Boss was the Giants leading receiver with three catches for 52 yards.
The Eagles completely shut down and dominated the Giants offense on Sunday, making them look nothing like the defending Super Bowl champions.
The Eagles need two more weeks of incredibly strong defensive play to pick up their first Super Bowl victory in franchise history.
