Giants grades vs. Eagles in Week 6

"Two rookies who didn't even begin this season as starters have emerged as the heart and soul of the team and the most productive drum-beaters of the offense. Cam Skattebo had 98 rushing yards on 19 carries with three touchdowns and Jaxson Dart threw for 195 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another 58 and a score. Lil'Jordan Humphrey came off the practice squad and was the most-targeted player on the team with eight passes coming his way; he caught four of them for 55 yards."

"There were more teasers for the Saquon Barkley documentary on Prime during the game than there were impact plays by the former Giants running back, who spent most of last season torturing them. After rushing for 31 yards on his first two carries of the game, Barkley was limited to 27 on his next 10. Brian Burns had two sacks and spent time dropping into coverage. Cor'Dale Flott's interception and 68-yard return was a back-breaking play."

"It didn't start out great with a mis-hit kickoff by Jamie Gillan for a penalty that gave the Eagles great field position. Jude McAtamney missed an extra-point kick in the first quarter that felt as if it was going to be costly, but the units rebounded. Dane Belton made a great tackle on a first-quarter kickoff to pin the Eagles at the 25 and Gunner Olszewski had 103 yards in kickoff returns with a long of 37."

Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart led the Giants' offense, with Skattebo rushing 98 yards on 19 carries and scoring three touchdowns while Dart threw for 195 yards and a touchdown and added 58 rushing yards and a rushing score. Lil'Jordan Humphrey, elevated from the practice squad, was targeted eight times and caught four passes for 55 yards. The defense limited Saquon Barkley after an early burst, with Brian Burns recording two sacks and Cor'Dale Flott returning an interception 68 yards. Special teams had early miscues including a mis-hit kickoff penalty and a missed extra point but later improved. Coaching decisions included questionable timeouts and play calls.
