3. Eagles defense could have a breakout performance
After being embarrassed by Ryan Fitzpatrick at home last Sunday, Manning is the quarterback Philadelphia needs to regain its confidence. Even though Jones has been struggling and is among the league leaders in fumbles, Manning is the player that the Eagles should prefer to face.
Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said the defense will prepare differently for the Giants offense with Manning under center and expect the blitz to be central in Philadelphia’s preparation now that the mobile Jones is out the game.
