Eagles-Giants preview: 5 things to watch
PhillyVoice • • sports
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles are on a six-game losing streak and have been significantly outgained by opponents, facing the 4-2-1 New York Giants as underdogs in Week 9.
- The Eagles have switched starting quarterbacks to Joe Milton, a physically imposing but accuracy-challenged player, replacing Tanner McKee after Jalen Hurts’ injury.
- Despite injuries, the Eagles plan to continue playing running back Saquon Barkley, raising concerns about his long-term health amid a struggling season.
- The team is likely to showcase players potentially available for trade, such as Landon Dickerson and Dallas Goedert, hoping to attract interest from other teams before the deadline.
- The Giants will start rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy, and the Eagles’ defensive front is expected to target the vulnerable interior of the Giants’ offensive line, though past performance suggests limited success.
