  "account": "The New York Giants are hoping to finally break their 13-year losing streak against the Philadelphia Eagles with the acquisition of quarterback J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings. The move came after Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2, leaving the team in need of a starter. McCarthy, picked 10th overall in 2024, was Minnesota's third-string quarterback at the time. He has now won his last five starts as a starter, the longest active winning streak among NFL quarterbacks. The Giants, now coached by John Harbaugh and his brother Jim, are 4-2-1 under Harbaugh and atop the NFC East, while the Eagles are 2-6, with their starting quarterback Jalen Hurts recovering from an injury. A victory for the Giants on Sunday would not only extend their division lead but also prove they made the right trade for McCarthy.",
  "summary": "J.J. McCarthy takes a five-start winning streak into Philadelphia, where the Giants haven't won since 2013.",
