Giants beat Eagles 19-11 as Philadelphia's losing streak reaches seven

Story So Far

The New York Giants beat the Philadelphia Eagles 19-11 at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, handing the Eagles a seventh consecutive defeat in Week 9 of the NFL season.

Eagles quarterback Joe Milton III made his first NFL start, and the Giants' defence made it a long afternoon for him, sacking him six times. Philadelphia had managed only 10 sacks across its first eight games. Rookie kicker Dominic Zvada kicked field goals from 53 and 49 yards for New York, and J.J. McCarthy led the Giants' offence.

The defeat drops Philadelphia to 2-7, while the Giants improve to 5-2-1 and stay first in the NFC East. The Eagles' defence played its best game of the season, allowing 243 yards and holding the Giants to 19 points, but the offence could not stay on the field, leaving the defence out there for 35 minutes and 45 seconds.

Sportradar's final score and the Eagles' own live updates agree on the 19-11 result and the key plays, and PhillyVoice's account of the six sacks, the seven-game losing streak and the 2-7 record matches the game record.

Philadelphia go into their bye week at 2-7, with Tuesday's trade deadline the next marker for a team that has lost seven in a row. The Giants, meanwhile, keep their grip on the division as the season reaches its midpoint.
