Philadelphia needs to stop its losing streak against a New York team with the stronger record, ranking and rushing attack.
The Eagles host a sharp standings contrast on Sunday: New York is 4-2-1 and third in the seed order, while Philadelphia is 2-6 and has lost six straight. The Giants have won three of their last five, and their 16th-place power index ranks well ahead of Philadelphia at 29th. The ground game is the key matchup: New York averages 116.7 rushing yards per game behind Cam Skattebo’s 418, while the Eagles allow 131.9; Philadelphia averages 88.1 rushing yards, and the Giants give up 128.1. Jalen Hurts has thrown eight touchdown passes and Saquon Barkley has 274 rushing yards, but the Eagles’ minus-4 turnover differential makes ball security crucial to ending the skid.
