Key Matchups

Giants LG Will Hernandez/RG Jamon Brown vs. Eagles DT Fletcher Cox: Cox dominated the Giants’ offensive line in the first meeting with three quarterbac­k hits and one sack. But the unit has improved with the addition of Brown since the bye week, and Hernandez continues to grow as a rookie with the 22nd-best Pro Football Focus grade among all guards.

Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. vs. Eagles CBs: Philadelph­ia is reeling and severely banged up in the secondary. That’s a favorable matchup for Beckham, who has 147 receiving yards and three touchdowns over the past two weeks.

Giants CB Janoris Jenkins vs. Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery: Jenkins is New York’s most talented corner but continues to perform underwhelm­ingly, ranking 88th at the position on PFF. Jeffery erupted for eight catches, 74 yards and two touchdowns in Week 6.

Giants SS Landon Collins vs. Eagles TE Zach Ertz: Tight ends have torched the Giants of late. Ertz leads the league in catches (77) at the position and has 804 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Collins had 10 tackles in the teams’ first meeting but was inconsiste­nt in coverage. Injury Report
