The New York Giants displayed a commendable effort on their home turf despite the challenging opposition. The team's passing game was notably efficient, with a completion percentage of roughly 72 percent resulting in two touchdowns and an impressive passer rating of nearly 111. The longest pass completed stretched for 37 yards, contributing to a total of 216 passing yards for the day.


The ground game also added to the offensive output as the Giants rushed for an average of over five yards per carry, accumulating a total of 123 rushing yards and scoring one touchdown. Their longest run broke free for an impressive distance of 32 yards.


On special teams, punting was executed effectively by the home team with an average punt yardage nearing 48 and three punts landing inside the opposing team's twenty-yard line. However, field goal attempts were absent from this game's statistics.


Defensively, New York made its presence felt by recording four sacks and five tackles for loss against their opponents. They also forced two fumbles during play but managed to recover only one themselves.


Despite these efforts by the Giants' offense and defense, it was not enough to overcome Philadelphia's high-powered attack which put up significant numbers across all facets of play.


Looking ahead after this tough contest against Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium, fans can catch their next game when they visit Washington Commanders at FedExField in Landover on December 18th at around eight twenty PM Eastern Time. This upcoming match will be broadcasted on NBC where fans can tune in to support their team as they take on another division rival away from home.
