Giants: Winston's one drive
- The turning point: starter J.J. McCarthy took a hard hit on the Giants' first drive of the third quarter and left with a hip injury, with New York down 8-6. Coach John Harbaugh sent in Jameis Winston, who led a 14-play, 76-yard drive that took nearly eight minutes and ended with a 5-yard touchdown pass to tight end Isaiah Likely for a 13-8 lead, amNewYork reported.
- Quarterbacks: McCarthy returned for the final play of the third quarter and finished 12 of 19 for 127 yards. Winston went 6 of 8 for 71 yards and the touchdown.
- Kicking: rookie Dominic Zvada made all four field goals, from 53, 49, 38 and 49 yards. amNewYork noted he had missed four of his previous nine attempts.

The Eagles' only touchdown was a 3-yard Saquon Barkley run in the first quarter. Milton ran in the 2-point conversion, and Jake Elliott added a late field goal. With Jalen Hurts likely out for the season with blood clots, ABC7 reported, Philadelphia could reshape its roster before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline.
