The New York Giants defense showed up against their arch rivals in a divisional matchup on Sunday. However, in the second half, the Big Blue defense seemed worn out and the Philadelphia Eagles were able to slowly take control of the tempo of the game game, mostly on the ground.
The Giants’ offense was not able to get much done all game long despite getting four takeaways from the Big Blue defense.
Although Graham Gano missed a field goal in the first half, leaving three points on the board, the team was able to recover. The Giants intercepted the ball on the last play of the first half stopping the Eagles drive short, who were well within field goal range at the time.
At the end of the day, the Giants won an ugly one due to their bend but don’t break defense. New York let up just 129 yards through the air and really didn’t allow Eagles to do much.
