Week 6 Thursday Night Football Statistical Review: Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo power Giants to win over Eagles

  • Rookies are the forefront of the Giants' turnaround: Quarterback Jaxson Dart and running back Cam Skattebo led the charge for a reinvigorated New York offense.
  • A.J. Brown gets more involved, but success doesn't follow: Brown turned nine targets into 80 receiving yards, but the Eagles were still unable to keep up with the Giants' unrelenting attack.

The New York Giants improved to 2-4 on Thursday Night Football in Week 6, winning 34-17 against the Philadelphia Eagles.


Game Summary

According to the PFF noise-canceled score metric, it wasn’t quite the blowout the final score indicates. After all, the Eagles had a chance to cut the lead to three in the fourth quarter before Jalen Hurts‘ back-breaking interception. But it was certainly a dominant performance for the Giants, who profited from their outstanding performance on third down, moving the ball at a very high rate and converting in the red zone every time they got there.


Passing Summary

Both passing offenses were fairly efficient through the air, but only the Giants were able to avoid large negatives — too many sacks and turnovers. Jaxson Dart also added a lot of value scrambling, including a touchdown in the red zone.


Receiving Summary

With Malik Nabers sidelined, the Giants distributed the ball among Wan'Dale Robinson and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. Humphrey gained a much larger air-yards share and appears to have the potential to go off at any time.

The good news for the Eagles is that they got A.J. Brown more involved. Tight end Dallas Goedert also had an outstanding night, racking up 110 yards on 11 targets.


Rushing Summary

The Giants' offensive line dominated in the trenches, leading to a much more efficient run game than the Philadelphia Eagles.
