The Giants not only held their own against their longtime rivals; They blew their doors off. After trading leads in the first half, Big Blue took the lead late in the second quarter and never looked back. They played complementary football, making great plays in both attack and defense, while stepping on the accelerator when victory was within their reach.
With the win, the Giants improve to 2-4 on the season and will face the Denver Broncos in Week 7.
Final score: Gigantes 34, Águilas 17

Keys to the game
- The Giants converted on 11 of their 16 third-down attempts, while holding the Eagles to just one of nine. It was a complete role reversal for New York.
- A week after committing five turnovers in consecutive series, the Giants recorded two turnovers and did not give the ball away. +2.
- The Giants defense, which generated three sacks, did not allow a play of more than 18 yards, Saquon Barkley’s longest run of the day (11 carries for 40 yards off that).
It all ended when…
Giants safety Dane Belton knocked the ball out of the hands of Eagles running back AJ Dillon with 6:50 left in the game. Cornerback Dru Phillips jumped on him and the replay confirmed the fumble and the Giants’ recovery. Already leading 34-17, Big Blue couldn’t look back.
game players
- RB Cam Skattebo: Skatt was high-octane again Thursday night, gaining 98 yards on 19 carries, 12 yards on two receptions and scoring three touchdowns.
- QB Jaxson Dart: Although he still needs to slide, Dart gave life to the Giants’ offense alongside Skattebo, completing 17 of his 25 pass attempts for 195 yards and a touchdown, adding 58 yards and an additional touchdown on the ground.
- LB Brian Burns: Burns wanted to reach the elite in 2025 and is on track to achieve that goal. He recorded seven tackles (three solo, two for loss), two QB hits and 2.0 sacks under the primetime lights.
