Giants 27 - 17 Eagles

It wasn’t always pretty, but the Giants did just enough today to beat the Eagles 27-17, their first win over Philadlephia since 2002.

Eli Manning is still having too many passes tipped for my taste, but to his credit, he threw no interceptions today, a big improvement over the four thrown last week against the Vikings. In addition, Manning threw for three touchdowns, including a 61 yard pass to Plaxico Burress late in the fourth quarter, which sealed the win for the Giants.

I watched the game with Steve “Big Red” McD, and he was extremely pleased with the performance of Eagles backup QB Mike McMahon. McMahon came in for the injured Donovan McNabb, and threw for nearly 300 yards, 2oo+ of which came in the second half.

Next up for the Giants is a very tricky trip to Seattle. Seattle are playing extremely well this season, and as odd as it is to type for me, we could be seeing a playoff preview. Kickoff is @ 4:15 on Sunday, and the game is being shown nationally on FOX, except in those markets where the home team is playing at that time as well.
