After Michael Strahan’s jersey retirement the New York Giants topped the Philadelphia Eagles 13-7 in East Rutherford New Jersey.

It was appropriate for the New York Giants defense to dominate the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday!

Why?

Because the former player they were honoring who was getting his retired was a defensive end as I stated above.

In the New York Giants 13-7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles The defense made big plays all day. The unit set the tone on its first possession when the Eagles didn't gain a yard and punted after holding the ball for just 1:05.

After Gano gave the Giants a 3-0 lead, Philly drove to the Giants' 20-yard line. Jalen Hurts' pass for Quez Watkins was intercepted by Darnay Holmes at the five. The Giants didn't turn the takeaway into points because Gano was wide right on a 51-yard field goal try.

The Eagles seemed poised to take the lead just before halftime after a pass to Jalen Reagor gave them a first-and-goal at the two. But on third down from the one, linebacker Tae Crowder picked off Hurts' pass for Boston Scott at the goal line on the final play of the half.

The defensive dominance continued in the second half. On the first series of the third quarter, Philly coach Nick Sirianni tried to keep a drive alive on fourth-and-two from the 50-yard line, but Hurts' pass to Reagor fell incomplete. Later in the period, another pass to Reagor ended poorly for the Eagles when Xavier McKinney picked it off at the Giants' 46.

Philadelphia scored their only points on Scott's one-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter, which cut the Giants' lead to 10-7.

Philly had three more chances to win the game. On the first possession, they punted. On their next series, they advanced to the Giants' 49-yard line, but on a first-down run, Dexter Lawrence forced Scott to fumble and the ball went into Love's hands at the 37 with 1:34 left.

But the Giants couldn't close it out, losing eight yards when Jones was sacked by Javon Hargrave. After a punt, the Eagles took possession at their own 41 with 1:11 left. They advanced as far as the Giants' 27, where, after a spike to stop the clock, the defense forced Hurts to throw three straight incompletions to seal the victory for the Giants.
