First Quarter


The game began with both teams testing each other's defenses. The Eagles managed to secure an early lead with a field goal by Jake Elliott from 42 yards out, maintaining his perfect kicking record for this match. However, it was clear that New York had come prepared as they quickly responded with a touchdown drive.


Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, Jalen Hurts showcased his passing skills by completing 24 of his 33 attempts for a total of 283 yards and one touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert. Despite Hurts' impressive performance and maintaining an average completion rate of nearly 73 percent, turnovers plagued Philadelphia's momentum.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw increased pressure on Hurts as he was sacked three times by the Giants’ defense. The Birds’ rushing attack struggled as well; Saquon Barkley led with only 58 rushing yards on twelve attempts without finding the end zone.


Fourth Quarter


In contrast to Philadelphia’s struggles, New York capitalized on their opportunities in this final stretch. The G-Men extended their lead significantly through efficient plays and solid defense that forced two turnovers from Philly’s offense.


Philadelphia's defensive line did manage some highlights: Jordan Davis recorded one sack among six combined tackles while Patrick Johnson also contributed another sack during crucial moments of play but ultimately couldn’t halt New York’s advances effectively enough throughout all four quarters.
