Summary
New York tightened its NFC East grip at 5-2-1 by winning 19-11 in Philadelphia and snapping a 13-game road skid against the Eagles.
Seven sacks and 220 yards allowed powered the result, with the Giants' defense overwhelming Joe Milton III in his first career start as Philadelphia's offense again stalled.
J.J. McCarthy briefly exited with a hip injury, but Jameis Winston led the Giants' only touchdown drive before McCarthy returned and finished 12-of-19 for 127 yards.
Philadelphia fell to 2-7 entering its bye, its longest losing streak since 2012, after scoring just 21 combined points over the past two weeks.
Tuesday's trade deadline and the bye now sharpen questions over whether the Eagles will sell veterans or make offensive staff changes in a season increasingly viewed as lost.
