Jim Schwartz did what he doesn’t like to do, and it helped the Eagles whip the Giants | Mike Sielski

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – By the start of the second quarter Thursday night, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz was doing things he doesn't like to do. Cornerback Sidney Jones had dragged himself off the MetLife Stadium field and was up on a trainer's table along the Eagles' sideline. Jones had sustained a hamstring injury, and it would prevent him from returning for the remainder of the Eagles' 34-13 victory over the Giants, and like a first tipped-over domino, it set off a series of personnel shifts and adjustments, the sorts of which Schwartz usually tries to avoid if possible.
