The Philadelphia Eagles played like the second coming of the Broad Street Bullies in their 17-10 victory over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium Sunday night. The Giants’ RB Brandon Jacobs spoke to ESPN Radio on the field during warm-ups and said the Giants were going to put a nail in the Eagles’ coffin. Well that didn’t exactly happen as the Giants came out flat and played uninspired football. The Giants running game never got going and Jacobs had 12 rushes for a pathetic 21 yards, not exactly smashmouth football. Here are the lowlights of the game:

• Eagle backup QB Vince Young went 16-of-19 in passes of 10 yards or less, along with his 3 interceptions. He was able to move the chains
• Eagles were the first team in this NFL season to give up 3 interceptions and win the game
• Giants rushing attack as a team had 17 carries for 29 yards
• Giant G Chris Snee was terrible but I now know why, he was sick last night and threw up multiple times during the game
• Eagles were 9-of-17 in 3rd down conversions
• Justin Tuck was a non-factor in the Giant pass rush
• The Giants best player was P Steve Weatherford who had 9 punts for 463 total yards, 51.4 yard average. Shades of Dave Jennings
• Giant QB Eli Manning was sacked 3 times, Young only once
• For the second game this year vs. Eagles Victor Cruz burned Eagle CB Nnamdi Asomugha for a TD. Cruz made him look dopey, again
• Giants have three very tough road games coming up with stops in New Orleans and Green Bay among them
