🦅 When the “Top Dogs” Fall: Eagles Get Humbled by the Giants
You know, it’s funny how football works. Not too long ago, Eagles fans were all over social media laughing about how the Cowboys barely beat the Giants.
Now look who’s getting laughed at.
Philly walked into that game talking about dominance, culture, and being the NFC’s gold standard — and walked out looking like a team that forgot how to fly. The Giants didn’t just beat them; they exposed them.
📊 Key Numbers That Sting
-
Cam Skattebo bulldozed through Philly’s front, rushing for 19 carries, 98 yards, and 3 touchdowns.
Jaxson Dart, the young Giant QB, went 17/25 for 195 yards passing, 1 passing TD, and added a rushing TD.
Philly’s defense couldn’t contain him — Giants picked off Jalen Hurts’ first pass INT of the season.
The Eagles didn’t score a single point in the second half — 0 in Q3 and Q4.
Philly falls to 4–2 overall, while the Giants improve to 2–4.
As a Cowboys fan, I’ll be honest — I’ve seen my team take its lumps, too. That’s football. But there’s something satisfying about watching a rival’s confidence crumble under the same pressure they mocked us for.
So yeah, maybe next time before talking about “America’s Team,” the Birds might want to make sure they can handle New York first.
Because around here in Dallas, we don’t need to talk about being elite — we just prove it on Sundays.
