On Monday, I looked back at three factors that helped provide the spark for the Eagles' run game against the Giants. Here I want to look at what went into the defensive success in the win. New York came into this game with a very defined game plan. The Giants knew they had to protect their offensive line against the Eagles' defense. That meant they were going to run the ball more than usual, and it meant the ball was going to come out of quarterback Eli Manning’s hands quickly.
Just how quickly did the ball come out?
