After nearly letting a 17-point halftime lead slip away for good, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New York Giants 33-25. It was their 12th consecutive victory over the Giants and snapped a three-game losing streak. Now at 11-4, the win also keeps the Eagles as the favorite to win the NFC East.
The Eagles and their fans were hoping Monday’s game against the Giants would serve as a get-right game after dropping three straight.
While they did pull out a win, their performance cannot exactly be described as confidence-inspiring.
The Giants, meanwhile, fell to 5-10 and could once again be turning to a new starter at quarterback after Tommy DeVito was benched at halftime for backup Tyrod Taylor.
DeVito started six games this season in relief of injured starter Daniel Jones. He helped lead the Giants to three straight wins, including a Monday night upset of the Green Bay Packers in Week 14, developing a cult following in the process.
