Game Preview | Eagles vs. Giants

Sunday (1 PM on FOX, Kickoff Show presented by Axalta at 12:15 PM) marks the Eagles' first road game since Week 5. It's also the Eagles' first game following the bye week. And it so happens that it's the first NFC East rematch of the 2020 season.

The Eagles narrowly escaped the first matchup with the New York Giants on October 22, rallying from a 21-10 deficit with 6:17 remaining to win 22-21 on Boston Scott's 18-yard touchdown reception from Carson Wentz.

The Eagles won the following week against the Dallas Cowboys to enter the bye at 3-4-1, good enough for first place in the NFC East.

The Giants lost another close game the following week to Tampa Bay (25-23) before winning their second game of the season last Sunday against Washington (23-20) to improve to 2-7 on the year.

The Eagles are getting healthier with several players back in the lineup who did not suit up for the first matchup against the Giants, among them tight end Dallas Goedert, running back Miles Sanders, and wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and Jalen Reagor.
