The lone opening-quarter touchdown the Eagles scored in the first half of this season happened against the Giants as Riley Cooper hauled in a Sam Bradford pass and completed a 32-yard scoring play. It ended a drive kept alive on a Giants roughing-the-passer penalty and it gave the Eagles enough of a lift to generate some momentum on the way to a 27-7 Back-In-Black win at Lincoln Financial Field.
For the most part, though, the first quarter has been a big zero for the Eagles, who have been outscored 40-10 in the collective eight opening periods this season.
