Wentz throws 3 TD passes, the Eagles look Super vs. Giants
Breathe a little easier Philadelphia and its surroundings. The Eagles are back and looking super.
It just shows him what a little urgency is, some big plays, and a timely game against the New York Giants that he can do for the defending Super Bowl champions.
Carson Wentz He threw three season touchdown passes and the Eagles got an early boost from his defense and special teams by beating the Giants 34-13 on Thursday night, avoiding his first three-game losing streak since the 2016 season.
"It's a great victory for us," said Wentz, who finished with 26 of 36 passes for 278 yards and no interceptions. "NFC East and the conference, it's huge, being 3-3 is better than 2-4, this is more like who we are, we can build on that."
The victory put the Eagles in first place with Washington (2-2) in the NFC East with Dallas (2-3) half a game back. The giants are fading fast.
Wentz intercepted 13 and 1 yard touchdowns to Alshon Jeffery around a 10-yard run to the tight end. Zach Ertz to help the Eagles build a 31-6 lead. They beat the Giants (1-5) for the fourth time in a row and seventh in eight games.
Corey Clement scored in a 1-yard run and Jake Elliott added 33 and 30-yard field goals.
"This is finally the game where we play like the Philadelphia Eagles," said Ertz, who limited himself to seven passes for 43 yards. "Finally we are the Eagles again."
Rookie half Saquon Barkley he scored in a 50-yard run and ran for 130 yards in one of the few bright spots for the Giants offense, which was booed repeatedly when he lost at home for the third time. Aldrick Rosas had field goals of 33 and 21 yards.
This was seen as a game that all teams must win in the NFC East, a weak and open zone, and the Eagles came out and grabbed it.
They entered the game after scoring seven points in the first quarter and doubled that against New York.
Eli Manning was under pressure all night by the Eagles. They fired him four times and beat him another 13 times. He finished 24 of 43 for 281 yards.
"We want to go after the passer every week," coach Doug Pederson said. "These games are battles, it all comes down to what team chases the passer, we hit Eli and put him on the ground, that was great."
It started in the opening series.
Kamu Grugier-Hill He intercepted Manning's pass, which was supported by linebacker Jordan Hicks and returned him to the Giants 16. Three plays later, Wentz was taken out of his pocket and found Jeffery after he had thrown all day.
A 46-yard run by Barkley created 33 yards from Rosas to reduce the gap to 7-3, but the Eagles took control later in the quarter after DeAndre Carter returned 23 yards to New York 44. Passes of 17 to Jeffery and 14 to Clement prepared Clement's touchdown run.
A spectacular leakage of junk by Barkley on a 55-yard touchdown pass helped reduce the lead to 14-6 in the second quarter, but Wentz hit Nelson Agholer in a third and 3 and hit Ertz for a 21-6 lead on the next play. .
Elliott reached 24-6 just before halftime and Philadelphia put the game out of reach with a 75-yard drive that ended with a short catch by Jeffery TD.
"We did not do anything good enough to win tonight," Giants coach Pat Shurmur said. "Philadelphia Credit, good soccer team."
The only significant thing after that was Barkley's touchdown run.
"How do I feel about my performance tonight?" Barkley asked rhetorically. "I do not care, we do not win."
Game fan
Odell Beckham Jr. hit a giant cooling fan head during an attack in the second half that also included shouting from the band and, finally, was calmed down by Barkley. Beckham also went to the locker room before the end of the first half, although Shurmur said Beckham was excused early due to colic.
Beckham said his tirade was just a bit of self-motivation.
"I was just trying to get going," he said. "I felt that some of those works he was cheering me on were some of my best things, so he was just trying to cheer me up, I did that and he helped me."
Thursday's scene comes a week after Beckham lamented the lack of Manning's downfield passes and the team's weak energy after a 33-31 loss to Carolina. Beckham had six receptions for 44 yards on Thursday, and his longest reception was 12 yards.
INJURIES: Eagles LT Jason Peters left with a biceps injury. Reserve cornerback Sidney Jones left in the first half with a hamstring injury. The Giants had LB Ray Ray Amstrong (concussion), WR Cody Latimer (hamstring) and CB Antonio Hamilton (illness) who left the game.
BARKLEY GAIN: Barkley has won at least 100 yards after practice in each of his first six games of his career. It is one of the NFL rookie records set by Kareem Hunt of Kansas City.

Eagles: host Carolina on October 21.
Patriots: in Atlanta on October 22.
