The Philadelphia Eagles’ season went from bad to worse on Sunday 8 November 2026, as the New York Giants won 19-11 at Lincoln Financial Field — the Giants’ first win in Philadelphia since 27 October 2013, ending a 13-game losing run there, including a playoff game.
The Eagles, now 2-7, have lost seven straight games — their longest losing streak since eight straight in Andy Reid’s final season in 2012 — and sit in the NFC East basement heading into their bye week.
The Giants, at 5-2-1, are the only team in the NFC East with a winning record and have tightened their grip on the division lead.
Joe Milton made his first NFL start for Philadelphia, the fourth Eagles quarterback to throw a pass this season after Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee and Andy Dalton. Milton completed 18 of 34 passes for 169 yards, ran for 64 yards and was sacked seven times. He led the Eagles’ only touchdown drive — Saquon Barkley scored from three yards and Milton ran in the two-point conversion, celebrating with a backflip.
Jameis Winston replaced the injured J.J. McCarthy, who left with a hip injury, and threw the go-ahead touchdown — a five-yard pass to Isaiah Likely capping a 14-play, 76-yard drive — finishing six of eight for 71 yards.
The Eagles’ defence recorded six sacks, but the offence managed only 220 total yards and five of 18 third downs. Philadelphia scored only three points after the first quarter.
For the Giants, it was a win 13 years in the making. For the Eagles, it was a seventh straight loss — and a bye week that cannot come soon enough.
It has been a huge week in football, from Georgia’s rout of Ole Miss to Oregon stunning Ohio State. In Philadelphia, the story was simpler: the Giants won, and the Eagles’ slide hit seven.
