The 1-4 New York Giants, coming off a disturbing Week 5 loss to the previously winless New Orleans Saints, face a tall task on Thursday night against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who are 4-1.
The Giants are 7.5-point underdogs, per FanDuel Sportsbook.
The Giants are getting a bit of a break as the Eagles will be without star defensive tackle Jalen Carter, out with a heel injury. Starting guard Landon Dickerson is also inactive for Philadelphia due to an ankle injury.
The Giants clearly went to school on the Denver Broncos defense. A simulated pressure leads to a drive-killing sack from Brian Burns (6 on the season) of Jalen Hurts.
TOUCHDOWN GIANTS! Jaxson Dart says “I’ll do it myself” and runs in a 19-yard touchdown.
They call him “Lil”, but in real life, he’s VERY big.
A big return for Gunner Olszewski, taking the ensuing kick-off to the 45-yard line.
The Giants stiffen in the red zone and force a field goal. The Eagles lead 3-0 after sprinting down the field to start the game.
The Giants will be compromised at wide receiver. Star receiver Malik Nabers is on season-ending IR with a torn ACL, and veteran Darius Slayton will miss the game with a hamstring injury. The Giants elevated veteran wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey from the practice squad for depth.
Giants’ starting right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, questionable with a back issue, is active and expected to start. Running back Tyrone Tracy, who missed the last two games with a shoulder injury, will play Thursday.
