  • Britain Covey returned the first punt of the game for 54 yards, setting up the Eagles on the New York 13-yard line.

On the next play, the quarterback pushed his way into the end zone. Hurts set a new NFL record with his 15th rushing touchdown of the season, breaking Cam Newton's record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a single season (14 in 2011).

  • Mason Crosby just had enough distance to make a 52-yard field goal with 8:04 left in the first quarter. (Eagles 7 - Giants 3)

Second Quarter

  • Field Goal! Elliott made his first field goal of the game, a 28-yard attempt, with 14:53 left in the first half. The 18-play drive was kept alive by a Dallas Goedert fourth-down conversion and a wild throw and catch from Hurts to Grant Calcaterra after a bad snap. However, the Eagles were held to just three points after failing to convert in the red zone. Swift had a touchdown taken away after it was ruled his knee was down well before finding the end zone. (Eagles 10 - Giants 3)
  • TOUCHDOWN! Hurts found DeVonta Smith over the middle for a 36-yard score! Smith used his speed to elude the chasing defender as he crossed the goal line with 11:44 remaining in the half. Olamide Zaccheaus provided a tremendous block on Adoree' Jackson, giving his teammate an open lane to the end zone. With that touchdown, Smith eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards for the second consecutive season. (Eagles 17 - Giants 3)
