Philadelphia Eagles 22, New York Giants 21
1) Long lamented about his inability to stay healthy, Carson Wentz is now casually pitching playing areas and has defenders around the Eagles, during their fights, hoping for Eagles wannabes. . He is putting the sufferings of his team on his shoulders and it is having an adverse effect, and he is dramatically victorious. On a night when he was sacked three times and threw a terrible interception, Wentz had three total touchdowns and a 359-yard season. The last of his touchdowns was a beautiful pitch in an ugly game that cost Boston Scott the game's winning score. Wentz is trying to do too much and there are too many signs that he's on the mend, but if you don't come back now, take a chance. Wentz just won't be easy, and with that, neither will Philadelphia. Often times injured former first-round players are doing anything to keep up with their team's expectations, often falling, but tonight that was not the case. It's impossible to argue that Wentz's volatile 2-4-1 game doesn't hurt the Eagles, but it's equally impossible to argue that he's not orchestrating it when he's successful. The good, the bad, and the ugly, so there was a lot on Tuesday night, Wentz is leading the Eagles and they are about to go as high or as low as he can.
2) Unfortunately, this one lived up to expectations. A showdown with NFC East title hopes and a top-five draft position in the rest, the Eagles and Giants looked great every time and were terrible with many others. But so far, the Eagles are half a game against the Cowboys (2-4) in the NFC East spike, while the Giants (1-6) are half a game behind the Washington Football Team (1-5). . For all the criticism and courtship eyes that convince people of this division, it is a dramatic train wreck. And the Eagles are moving forward right now, a draw with the Bengals early in the season is sure to play at the end of it all. The story of dealing with Fili's injuries is a never ending story, but he has his own ability to move and fight. And right now, the Eagles are leading on an undercard destined for round 17. So it's a conflict-ridden season for the Eagles in which it's hard to pin down what's the right thing to do. But this Thursday night, the results went to Philadelphia in first place.
3) With nothing but open field and opportunity ahead of Daniel Jones, the season two quarterback shortened the end zone and rolled into an indelible image that vastly extended the Giants season and too much division. Of which they were part. Jones exploded for an 80-yard dash and was stopped only by his own makeshift legs and an empty gas tank, rolling for a brief six-stop, though he was ultimately redeemed by his teammate Wayne Gallman. It was the race and the premature finish that made Jones's teammates laugh and turned Twitter into a comedic frenzy. This was probably Jones' season setting though, as good ends bad too. It was hands down Jones 'best game of the season, after all, and it ended in Jones' loss in New York with a sack by Brandon Graham. Jones had two touchdown passes for the second time this season, and the first since Week 1, and the Giants' main run of the season was a 92-yard razor. There were flashes that have always been for Jones, but they stumbled back then. And Fumble and Stumble are quickly returning to being a prolific franchise for the Giants that looks like the following in place of Danny Dimes.
