A winning streak? That’s right! The 2020 New York Giants won their second consecutive game against a divisional opponent by beating the Philadelphia Eagles 27-17 at MetLife Stadium. The presumption going into the game was that the healthy Eagles, with more time to prepare coming out of the bye week, would defeat the Giants and continue their ascension to the top of the deficient NFC East; that effort was thwarted by the Giants’ game plan and execution.
New York had a fast start on offense, responded with big plays after the defense gave up a long touchdown run to Boston Scott, and the Giants’ defense held the Eagles to an 0-9 3rd down conversion rate.
