    Giants' Jaxson Dart: Two total TDs in upset win

    Dart completed 17 of 25 passes for 195 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding 13 carries for 58 yards and another score during the Giants' 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

    Dart recorded the first signature win of his nascent career with a standout, mistake-free performance. The dynamic rookie got off to a blistering start by helping lead two first-quarter touchdown drives, possessions he capped off with a 20-yard scoring run and a 35-yard strike to Wan'Dale Robinson. Dart went on to lead three more scoring drives in the upset, and he navigated a brief third-quarter exit to be checked for a concussion to finish out the upset victory without incident. Dart has already shown considerable promise in his first three starts while recording a pair of victories in the process. but he'll get quite the test in a Week 7 road matchup against the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 19.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Season-best performance in loss

    Goedert brought in nine of 11 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 34-17 loss to the Giants on Thursday night.

    Goedert led the Eagles across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets with those marks, and his game-best 36-yard catch also qualified as a season-high figure. The veteran tight end has scored all five of his touchdowns this season over the last four games, and that tally ties a career best for Goedert, who also recorded the same number of trips to the end zone in 2019. With 20 targets in his last two games alone, Goedert will remain a highly viable option in all formats during a Week 7 road matchup against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 19.

  • Giants' Jude McAtamney: No FGAs in win

    McAtamney did not attempt a field goal and went 4-for-5 on extra-point tries in Thursday's 34-17 win over the Eagles.

    McAtamney was signed to the active roster Thursday, but for the second week in a row, he only kicked PATs. The kicker has gone 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and 7-for-8 on PATs over three games this year, and he will look to be more involved in Week 7 against the Broncos.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Breaks out for three TDs in win

    Skattebo rushed 19 times for 98 yards and three touchdowns and brought in both targets for 12 yards in the Giants' 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

    Backfield mate Tyrone Tracy returned from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury, but Skattebo helped make the latter's availability a non-issue with his stellar play. The rookie was responsible for each of the Giants' last three touchdowns, recording a four-yard scoring run late in the first half and then going into the end zone from one yard out in both the third and fourth quarters. Skattebo also set a new single-game career high in rushing yards with Thursday's performance, and he notably gained 44 of his yards on the Giants' final, game-sealing drive that consumed the last 6:50 of the contest. Given his performance Thursday, Skattebo will head into another stiff challenge against the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 19 as the unquestioned lead back.

  • Jake Elliott K | PHI

    Eagles' Jake Elliott: Limited action in loss

    Elliott made his only field-goal try and went 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.

    Elliott was limited to just one field goal for the second straight week, making a 42-yarder to finish off the team's first possession of the game. The kicker has now gone 6-for-6 on field-goal attempts, while making all 16 of his extra-point tries over six games this season.

  • Saquon Barkley RB | PHI

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Modest opportunity in loss

    Barkley rushed 12 times for 58 yards and brought in two of three targets for nine yards in the Eagles' 34-17 loss to the Giants on Thursday night.

    Barkley was set up well on paper for a matchup against the Giants' porous run defense, but game script would eventually cap his opportunities and lead to his second-lowest carry total of the campaign. He was efficient with his opportunities, averaging an encouraging 4.8 yards per carry after posting 5.0 yards per tote in the Week 5 loss to the Broncos. Barkley has still to crack the 90-yard mark on the ground through six games, however, and he's still averaging just 3.4 yards per carry on the season thanks to a slow start to the season. Barkley will have a tough Week 7 challenge on his hands as well, considering the talented Vikings defense awaits in a Week 7 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 19.

  • Jalen Hurts QB | PHI

    Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Solid numbers in shocking loss

    Hurts completed 24 of 33 passes for 283 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding seven rushes for 13 yards and another score in the Eagles' 34-17 loss to the Giants on Thursday night.

    Hurts and the Eagles offense had a productive first quarter when they netted 10 points as a unit, and the reigning Super Bowl MVP connected with Dallas Goedert from three yards out late in the period for six of those. Hurts would add a one-yard touchdown run at just under the seven-minute mark of the second quarter, and that would surprisingly be the end of the scoring on the night for Philadelphia. Hurts exceeded 30 pass attempts for a second consecutive contest for the first time this season, and he averaged a season-best 8.6 yards per attempt Thursday while connecting with six different targets. The sixth-year pro's one interception also was very costly, however, as it came at the Giants' nine-yard line early in the fourth quarter with the Eagles down 10 and was returned all the way to Philadelphia's 23-yard line to set up the New York's game-clinching touchdown. Hurts has hit or exceeded 280 passing yards in each of the last two games heading into a Week 7 road showdown against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 19.

  • Giants' John Michael Schmitz: Done for night

    Schmitz (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday night's contest against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Schmitz suffered a concussion in the second half of Thursday Night Football, bringing his night to a premature end. In his absence, Austin Schlottmann has taken over at center versus Philadelphia.

    Giants' Jaxson Dart: Quickly clears protocol

    Dart cleared concussion protocol and will return to Thursday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Dart was hit in the head and shoulder area while attempting to escape pressure late in the third quarter. He was evaluated for a concussion and cleared, and he returned to the game after missing only a couple of offensive plays.

    Giants' Jaxson Dart: Being examined in medical tent

    Dart exited Thursday's game against the Eagles with an apparent upper-body injury, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Dart was attempting to escape pressure late in the third quarter and suffered a series of hard hits to his head and shoulder area. He ran off the field under his own power but straight into the medical tent. Russell Wilson replaced him to complete the drive, though Dart was spotted with his helmet on the sideline during the Eagles' next offensive possession.
