PHILADELPHIA -- It was the kind of momentum-shifting mistake you might expect from a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback, but the Giants are not playing with either.

Not yet.

The Giants were leading by eight points and driving for more late in the second quarter when Eli Manning threw an interception by forcing a throw into double coverage on Odell Beckham.

Had Manning thrown the ball away, the Giants could have attempted a 45-yard field goal with a kicker who has made all but one of his 24 attempts this season, including four from 50 yards or further.
