The New York Giants remain in firm control of the NFC East after taking down the rival Philadelphia Eagles, 19-11, on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

With the victory, the Giants moved to 5-2-1 this season and ended a 13-game road losing streak against Philadelphia.

It wasn’t exactly smooth sailing for the Giants, who struggled to get much going offensively and lost quarterback J.J. McCarthy for a brief time in the second half because of a hip injury.

Backup Jameis Winston led the Giants on their lone touchdown drive before McCarthy returned to finish 12-of-19 passing for 127 yards.

New York’s defense deserves a lot of credit for Sunday’s win, as it throttled the Eagles offense in quarterback Joe Milton first career start. The Giants sacked Milton seven times and held Philadelphia to just 220 yards of offense. Milton finished 18-of-34 passing for 169 yards. He added 64 yards rushing.

Up next for the Giants is another pivotal division game, as they’ll host the Washington Commanders (2-5-1) on Thursday night. The teams played to a memorable tie when they met in Week 5.
