STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES -- The Eagles have won seven consecutive games against the Giants, and 11 of the previous 12 games in the series. ... The Eagles are 4-0 on Thursday nights under coach Doug Pederson, Giants are 4-6 on Thursday nights, 2-5 on the road. ... The Giants have not won in Philadelphia since 2013. ... Giants QB Daniel Jones leads the team in yards rushing with 204. His 74 yards against Washington were the highest for a single game by a Giants QB since Jeff Hostetler had 82 yards at New England in 1990. Jones’ 49-yard run against Washington was the longest run by a Giants QB in the Super Bowl era. ... Giants rookie LB Tae Crowder’s 43-yard fumble return for a touchdown was the team's first go-ahead defensive TD in the last four minutes of a fourth quarter or overtime since Oct. 31, 1999, when Hall of Famer Michael Strahan scored on a 44-yard interception return in overtime to beat the Eagles in Philadelphia. ... New York K Graham Gano has made 13 straight field goals. ... Eagles QB Carson Wentz has four of his seven career rushing TDs this season. He's already thrown a league-high nine interceptions, most since his rookie season in 2016. ... Eagles RB Boston Scott had career-high 138 scrimmage yards and three TDs against the Giants in the last meeting. ... Philly WR Travis Fulgham has 18 receptions for 284 yards and three TDs in three games. ... Eagles TE Jason Croom caught a 3-yard TD pass on his only snap last week. ... Jalen Hurts has played 18 snaps, including several at quarterback with Wentz split wide. The Eagles have gained 180 yards on those plays with Hurts on the field. ... DE Brandon Graham leads the team with five sacks. ... Fantasy tip: Fulgham has quickly become Wentz’s go-to receiver, making contested catches and big plays in three games. He should continue his production against New York with TE Zach Ertz and RB Miles Sanders hurt.
