NFL Week 15: Giants Dazzle With Wild Comeback Win
Giants Stun Eagles With Late Comeback
The New York Giants shocked the Philadelphia Eagles in a thrilling Week 15 matchup, mounting a furious fourth-quarter comeback to secure a 27-20 victory. After trailing 20-10 entering the final period, the Giants unleashed a dominant defensive effort and capitalized on key Eagles miscues to pull off the improbable.
Daniel Jones Sparks Giants Offense
Quarterback Daniel Jones ignited the Giants' offense in the fourth quarter, leading two touchdown drives that proved decisive. Jones threw for 181 yards and rushed for 33 yards, including a crucial 10-yard scamper for a touchdown. The Giants also benefited from several dropped passes and penalties by the Eagles' defense.
