Eagles’ Joe Milton gets 100% real about team’s approach after loss to Giants

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, extending their six-game losing streak to 7 games and dropping their overall record to 2-7. Quarterback Joe Milton, who made his first career start, could not deliver the necessary spark the team required. Despite the disappointing outcome, Milton remained optimistic about his team's prospects, stating, "I just want to be better.

We want to be better as a team. I don’t think too many people going home. I think everybody should be there and will be here, just trying to get better and closer." The quarterback's performance was underwhelming, as he completed 18-of-34 passes for 169 yards without a touchdown or interception, while also rushing for 64 yards, including a 24-yard run.

However, Milton suffered seven sacks, contributing to the Eagles' paltry 220 total yards on the day. The quarterback's switch from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad to the Eagles came after Jalen Hurts landed on the injured reserve list. Milton's replacement, Tanner McKee, had a struggling tenure as the starter, going 0-3 before being replaced.

With the Eagles now facing the Pittsburgh Steelers after the break, the team must address critical questions heading into their bye week. Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion is under pressure, while head coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged that the team's struggles start with him. The Eagles will need more than a quarterback change to turn their season around, given the current trajectory.
