New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Box score, player stats, and summary feat. Jaxson Dart, Jalen Hurts
The Philadelphia Eagles lost for the first time in Week 5 when the Denver Broncos came to Lincoln Financial Field and thwarted a Hail Mary attempt for a 21-17 decision. Now, the defending Super Bowl champions looked to rebound a New York Giants squad whose rookie starter Jaxson Dart had a "sophomore slump" at the New Orleans Saints, losing a fumble and being intercepted twice.

Would they regain their winning form, or would another major upset happen?
The Eagles began the game modestly, scoring a field goal. Jaxson Dart did not take long before responding, exploiting a defensive hole to rush for a touchdown.
The Giants then got a major defensive stop, as Brian Burns penetrated the trenches to sack Jalen Hurts and force a punt that Wan'Dale Robinson punished with a touchdown.
Finally, after the two-minute mark, Hurts finally found the end zone - via a pitch to Dallas Goedert on a trick play. The Eagles then forced a punt, then punished it with their patented "Brotherly Shove" at the end zone.

Cam Skattebo eventually put the hosts back on top with a rushing touchdown. Hurts then ran out of time to spike the ball to end the half.
Both teams went three-and-out to start the second half - a drought that Skattebo ended with a rushing touchdown. Then, they went back to exchanging punts - not helped by sacks on Hurts and Dart on the first two drives in that sequence.
That sequence ended when Cor’Dale Flott intercepted Hurts and returned the ball 68 yards. Skattebo rushed yet for six again to end the drought, then the Eagles ran into more disaster when Dane Belton punched the ball out of a rushing AJ Dillon for a fumble that Dru Phillips recovered.
That error basically ended the game, as the Giants spent the rest of the drive entering enemy territory, then kneeling.
