The New York Giants beat the Philadelphia Eagles 19-11 at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, November 8, 2026, ending a losing run in that building that stretched back more than a decade and extending the Eagles' collapse to seven straight defeats.
New York had not won in Philadelphia since October 27, 2013. The Eagles had taken the previous 13 meetings at home, one of them a playoff game.
The Giants are now 5-2-1, the only team in the NFC East with a winning record. The Eagles are 2-7.
A game decided by field goals
Dominic Zvada opened with field goals of 53 and 49 yards in the first quarter. Philadelphia answered with its only touchdown of the afternoon: a 3-yard run by Saquon Barkley, followed by a two-point conversion Joe Milton ran in himself after a Giants penalty on the extra-point attempt. That put the Eagles ahead 8-6, and it was the last time they led.
New York took the game back in the third quarter. Jameis Winston found Malachi Fields for 14 yards to set up a 5-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely, and the Giants went into the fourth quarter up 13-8. Zvada added two more field goals, from 38 and 49 yards, to make it 19-8. Jake Elliott's 45-yard kick accounted for Philadelphia's final three points.
Two quarterback problems
Winston was on the field because J.J. McCarthy left in the third quarter with a hip injury, with the Giants trailing 8-6. McCarthy came back for the final play of the quarter and finished 12 of 19 for 127 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions. Winston, who had already started four games this season after Jaxson Dart was hurt, went 6 of 8 for 71 yards.
Philadelphia's problem is less a matter of injury than of answers. Tanner McKee went 0-3 as the starter after Jalen Hurts was injured and was benched for Milton, who went 18 of 34 for 169 yards and was sacked on the game's last play. The Eagles have not found a passing game that works since Hurts went out, and on Sunday they managed 11 points at home against a division rival.
There were two oddities in the margins. Jonathan Greenard recorded his first sack as an Eagle. And Eagles punter Braden Mann hit an 86-yard punt, the longest in the NFL since 2001, plus a 60-yarder — though he also lost two yards on a botched attempt.
What is next
The Giants have a short week: they host the Washington Commanders on Thursday. The Eagles have a bye and do not play again until November 22, when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers — two weeks to decide who takes the next snap.
