Philly tipped more pain into New York’s already fractured season when the Super Bowl champs bounced back to their offensive best with Carson Wentz, Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz dominating.
Saquon Barkley was a shining light for the Giants but Eli Manning was either under immense pressure or missing relatively easy throws. Odell Beckham interestingly headed to the locker room with two seconds remaining in the opening half but Giants officials said it was to receive an IV injection. Who knows !?
Anyhow, there is more to look forward to in week six and hopefully it’s all about the on-field action and less about the off-field drama.
