Giants coach Brian Daboll’s aggressiveness has paid off for the Giants many times this season, but it backfired against the Eagles.
Rather than punting, Daboll decided to roll the dice and go for it. But it backfired as Jones was sacked by Reddick again for an 8-yard loss, giving the ball back to the Eagles on their own 48.
Jalen Hurts promptly led the Eagles on an eight-play, 52-yard drive that took a little over four minutes. He later capped it off through a 9-yard touchdown pass to Devonta Smith to give Philadelphia a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter. Boston Scott added a rushing score in the second quarter to push the advantage to 21-0.Things went from bad to worse on the Giants’ next possession as Jones threw an interception that was picked off by former Big Blue cornerback James Bradberry.
