Three stars
1. Eagles running back Miles Sanders (144 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns)
2. Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (3 sacks)
3. Eagles place-kicker Jake Elliott (2-for-2 field goals, 1 punt for 35 yards)

Eagles' best play
Boston Scott set up one of Elliott's field goals with a 66-yard kickoff return, the Eagles' longest this season.

Eagles' worst play
Giants linebacker Elerson Smith blocked a punt from the Eagles' end zone in the second quarter. Eagles punter Arryn Siposs grabbed the ball and ran for 13 yards, but injured his leg on the play. That forced punt returner Britain Covey to be the holder for Elliott's field goals and Elliott to be the punter.

Turning point
The Eagles led 14-0 when Giants punter James Gillan was penalized for an illegal kick. The Eagles took possession at the Giants' 33-yard line. Quarterback Jalen Hurts threw a 33-yard TD pass to wide receiver A.J. Brown on the next play to increase the lead to 21-0.
