I entered this game not considering a New York Giants victory over the Philadelphia Eagles as a possible outcome. That’s sad, because I do feel that the Giants’ talent has been upgraded this season, while the Eagles’ has either diminished a little, or been out of sync thus far, or some of both. Thus my pre-game thinking for this post focused on a few smaller questions: • With Jalen Carter out, could the Giants run the ball effectively against the Eagles’ defense? • With Landon Dickerson out and the Eagles’ offensive line as a whole not being quite as impressive as in years past, could the Giants’ defense somewhat neutralize Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts? • Could Jaxson Dart figure out a Vic Fangio defense (made more difficult by the absence of Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton)?

Well
