Eagles Grades by Position After Ugly Loss to Giants - NBC Sports Philadelphia

The Eagles limped into their Week 10 bye week after a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon at the Linc, dropping their losing streak to seven games and their record to 2-7 in a season that continues to unravel.

The team started quarterback Joe Milton under center, but the offense failed to find any consistent rhythm.

Milton finished 18 of 34 for 169 yards with a 66.9 passer rating while adding 9 rushing attempts for 64 yards to lead the team on the ground. He also lost a fumble and struggled against the Giants’ blitz packages after spending just three weeks with the franchise.

The running game stalled completely outside of Milton’s scrambles. Saquon Barkley managed just 22 yards on 13 carries with one touchdown, while Elijah Mitchell contributed 3 carries for 6 yards and 3 catches for 20 yards, picking up a D grade amid costly fourth-quarter execution errors.

Receiver Makai Lemon caught 6 passes on 9 targets for 61 yards, serving as a bright spot despite a few drops while filling in for the injured DeVonta Smith and Dontavyion Wicks. Dallas Goedert added 5 catches on 6 targets for 50 yards, though the tight end was underutilized until late in the contest.

Up front, the offensive line yielded seven sacks to a New York defense that had totaled nine sacks entering the afternoon. Rookie right tackle Markel Bell struggled significantly, leading to an F grade for the unit.

Defensively, the Eagles showed some life by holding the Giants to 80 rushing yards, marking the first time all season the defense surrendered fewer than 100 yards on the ground. Jordan Davis recorded a sack and two tackles for loss, while Jalen Carter, Jonathan Greenard, and Nolan Smith also registered sacks.

Linebacker Zack Baun collected 7 tackles, 2 sacks, and 3 tackles for loss before exiting in the third quarter with a back injury. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. stepped in to lead the team with 10 tackles and added 3 tackles for loss and a forced fumble.

In the secondary, Quinyon Mitchell limited Malik Nabers to just 2 catches for 7 yards, though coverage communication lapses resurfaced when Jameis Winston replaced an injured J.J. McCarthy and engineered a 76-yard touchdown drive.

Special teams provided a bizarre mix of highlights and lowlights when Braden Mann unleashed an 86-yard punt—the second-longest in franchise history behind Randall Cunningham’s 91-yarder in 1989—before later misplaying a snap for a punt of -2 yards.

The coaching staff absorbed an F grade as the team’s undisciplined play and seven-game skid point toward mounting pressure for changes during the bye week.
