N.J. – The Giants hope to reverse both their recent fortunes and those against the Philadelphia Eagles, and enjoy payback for perhaps their most difficult defeat of the season, when the longtime rivals meet Sunday afternoon in MetLife Stadium.
Most notably, Philadelphia has the NFL's scariest offense, one that is well-balanced, generates big plays, doesn't often turn over the ball, and has scored a league-high 31.1 points a game (with the help of four defensive touchdowns).
The focus is also on head coach Doug Pederson, who calls the offensive plays and must devise a plan for Foles to get the ball to Philadelphia's many playmakers – running backs Jay Ajayi and LeGarrette Blount, wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor, and tight end Zach Ertz.
Philadelphia is second in the NFL with an average of 143.0 rushing yards a game; the Eagles ran for 193 yards against the Giants in September, and have finished with less than 100 yards just twice all season.
