The Giants vs Eagles series finally swung back to New York in Philadelphia. The Giants won 19-11 on Sunday for their first victory at Lincoln Financial Field since 2013, per Giants.com. They are 5-2-1 in John Harbaugh's first season.
"The Giants advance to 5-2-1 with a 19-11 win over the Eagles," Big Blue Film Room shared on X. Philadelphia fell to 2-7 with its seventh straight loss.
It was not clean. New York trailed 8-6 at halftime, and JJ McCarthy was sacked five times in the first half, the New York Daily News' Pat Leonard reported. McCarthy had won his first Giants start in Houston before the bye.
How Arvell Reese Took Over Giants vs Eagles
Arvell Reese came off the edge untouched early in the second quarter. His strip sack of Joe Milton was recovered by Micah McFadden, according to Giants.com.
The fifth overall pick finished with 12 tackles (10 solo), three sacks and a forced fumble. Giants.com noted he is only the second rookie in franchise history with three sacks in a game, after B.J. Hill in 2018.
The Giants recorded a season-high seven sacks, including Darius Alexander's on the final play. Philadelphia converted five of 18 third downs.

Jameis Winston and Dominic Zvada Supplied the Points
McCarthy hurt his hip on a third-quarter run, Leonard reported. Jameis Winston replaced him and went 6 of 8 for 71 yards. His 5-yard touchdown to Isaiah Likely made it 13-8 with 2:25 left in the third.
McCarthy returned later in the quarter and finished 12 of 19 for 127 yards, per the Eagles' recap.
Dominic Zvada missed five of nine field goal tries in the three games before the bye. He made all four Sunday, from 53, 46, 38 and 49 yards. His six 50-yarders this season are one more than every other Giants rookie combined, per Giants.com.
The caveat is the running game. With Cam Skattebo sidelined by his hamstring, Devin Singletary ran 21 times for 31 yards. Deonte Banks also drew a 30-yard pass interference penalty that set up Saquon Barkley's touchdown, Leonard reported.
What Comes Next for the Giants After Philadelphia
The Giants host the Commanders on Thursday night. The teams tied 27-27 in Week 5, and Washington fell to 2-5-1 on Sunday, per Giants.com.
Tuesday's trade deadline comes first. Sunday morning, we covered how the Giants cooled on a Jonathan Taylor trade over the Colts' price. No new move had been reported after the game.
Our Take: Arvell Reese Is That Good, and the Giants Need a Back
Arvell Reese is THAT good. By the fourth quarter I was calling him All-Pro Arvell. Three sacks in a road division game back that up.
Dominic Zvada needed that after his pre-bye slump. Isaiah Likely has been some addition, and his touchdown put New York ahead for good.
JJ McCarthy fought back from the hip injury. The guy just finds a way to win. Not everything was clean, though, and I was frustrated with Deonte Banks during the game.
The run game worries me most. Devin Singletary had 31 yards on 21 carries, and the Giants need Jonathan Taylor. Go get him.
Thank you, Ravens, for John Harbaugh. This is a first-place team, and the Giants have to make a big move before Tuesday. Don't let this opportunity go to waste.
