The New York Giants looked like just what the Philadelphia Eagles needed to cure their funk. After winning 10 of their first 11 games this season, the Eagles entered Monday’s game on a three-game losing streak.

At halftime, Philadelphia had a 17-point lead, and the Giants were playing like a 5-9 team on their third quarterback. But the Eagles needed an interception in the end zone on the final play to come away with a 33-25 victory.

We needed to get out of the funk that we were in,” Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni said, “and sometimes that’s just by getting a win.”

Later in the third quarter, Philadelphia tight end Dallas Goedert slipped coming out of a cut, and Giants cornerback Adoree Jackson intercepted quarterback Jalen Hurts’ pass and ran 76 yards down the sideline for a touchdown to ruin the Eagles’ 14-play drive and bring the Giants within two points of the lead at 20-18.

On Philadelphia’s next possession, the Eagles faced third-and-20 when Hurts avoided the rush and connected with AJ Brown for a 32-yard gain, dropping the pass over leaping safety Isaiah Simmons into the wide receiver’s hands.
