New York @ Philadelphia preview

Last Meeting ( Oct 11, 2018 ) Philadelphia 34, N.Y. Giants 13

The Philadelphia Eagles found themselves on the business end of a beat-down so severe that it was the most lopsided loss ever by a defending Super Bowl champion. The Eagles aim to shake off the effects of a 41-point demolition on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field when they bid for their ninth win in 10 outings against the New York Giants.

"The product we're putting out there is not up to our standards. I'm not playing to my standards, but we know the talent we have and the chemistry we have," said Carson Wentz, who completed 19 of 33 passes for 156 yards and three interceptions in Sunday's 48-7 shellacking in New Orleans. The 25-year-old Wentz fared significantly better in his last encounter versus the Giants, throwing for three touchdowns with a pick in Philadelphia's 34-13 road win on Oct. 11. Rookie Saquon Barkley ripped off a 50-yard scoring run in that contest and found the end zone on three occasions (two rushing, one receiving) to highlight a career-high 142-yard rushing performance in Sunday's 38-35 victory over Tampa Bay. "We're finishing games and we're finishing drives, and that's what we weren't doing in the first half of the season," said Barkley, who was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week on Wednesday.

ABOUT THE GIANTS (3-7): Eli Manning completed all but one of his 18 pass attempts versus the Buccaneers and has five touchdown passes in his last two contests -- after mustering just eight in the first eight games. Odell Beckham Jr. has been on the receiving end of three of those scoring strikes over the last two weeks, although he was not as fortunate in his last outing against Philadelphia as his six receptions went for just 44 yards. "The goal is to win every game. So six games left, it's really only crazy until you do it," the 26-year-old Beckham said. Fellow wideout Sterling Shepard has struggled to capitalize on a strong start to the season, as he has been limited to 37 receiving yards of fewer in four of his last five outings.

ABOUT THE EAGLES (4-6): Alshon Jeffery gouged the Giants for a season high-tying eight receptions for 74 yards with two touchdowns in the last encounter. Zach Ertz also found the end zone in that contest, but he was limited to season-low totals in catches (two) and receiving yards (15) against the Saints. The locker room talk after that debacle centered around safety Malcolm Jenkins pointing out a lack of fight of some of his teammates, although there's even more concern about the health of the team's secondary. Cornerbacks Jalen Mills (foot), Sidney Jones (hamstring), Rasul Douglas (knee) and Avonte Maddox (knee) were all absent from Wednesday's practice.
