The Philadelphia Eagles ended their season on a sour note, losing 27-10 to the New York Giants in a game that was indicative of their struggles over the last five weeks. The Eagles had won their first four games of the season, but then went on a 1-5 stretch to finish the year.
The Eagles were unable to get anything going offensively against the Giants, as they managed just 10 points on the day. Quarterback Carson Wentz was unable to get into any sort of rhythm, throwing for just 203 yards and one touchdown. The Eagles’ running game was also stifled, as they managed just 66 yards on the ground.
The defense was also unable to contain the Giants, as they allowed 27 points and 441 total yards. The Eagles were unable to generate any sort of pressure on Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, who threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns. The Eagles were also unable to force any turnovers, which was a major factor in their inability to stay in the game.
The loss to the Giants was a fitting end to a disappointing stretch for the Eagles, who had high expectations entering the season. The team will now have to regroup and look to make improvements during the offseason if they hope to compete for a playoff spot in 2021.
