5 things we learned about Joe Milton, Eagles bad offense in Giants loss
The Eagles changed quarterbacks but had the same poor offensive result in their loss to the Giants
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants on November 8, continuing their losing streak to seven games and dropping their record to 2-7. Joe Milton, who replaced the injured Tanner McKee, provided an early spark for the Eagles offense, scoring a touchdown in the first quarter with both his arm and his legs.
However, the offense struggled to find consistency, as the team only managed 131 yards through three quarters, failing to reach 300 yards of offense for the sixth time in their seven losses. Milton was sacked seven times during the game. The Eagles' defense managed to hold the Giants to just one touchdown, but the offense couldn't sustain drives, leading to their defeat.
Saquon Barkley, playing despite injuries, had limited touches, amassing 12 carries for 19 yards through three quarters. The bye week is seen as a necessary break for Barkley and injured wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks. The defensive unit, led by Jonathan Greenard who finally got his first sack against McCarthy, had a tough time in the second half, contributing to the Eagles' loss.
