PHILADELPHIA — The Giants trailed by a touchdown in the second quarter Monday night when they got a 9-yard reception from Odell Beckham Jr. for a first down and an extra 15 yards from a roughing the passer penalty on Eagles defensive end Cedric Thornton. Just like that, the Giants were in Eagles’ territory.
And then they weren’t.
A seemingly safe dump-off pass to Rashad Jennings picked up 6 yards and, as Jennings appeared about to pick up the first down, he was hit from behind by safety Malcolm Jenkins, causing a fumble that linebacker DeMeco Ryans recovered.
