The Philadelphia Eagles became the first team in NFL history to have each of their first three wins by two ppoints or less. The defending Super Bowl champion Giants have lost 8 of the last 9 meetings with the Eagles.

The Giants had two chances at thhe end of the fourth quarter to take the lead with a fieldgoal but they missed both of them. Coach Andy Reid called a timeout after Tynes missed the first fieldgoal to ice his knee, which many believe could have caused him to miss the second one. When asked if he regretted calling a timeout to ice Tynes coach Andy Reid said, "When you're surrounding by 66,000 people that probably wanna rip your head off, yeah,"

Vick was 19 for 30 for 241 yards. The eagles led the NFL with the most turnovers this season but didn't have any this game.

Manning completed 24 for 42 passes for 309 yards, had two touchdowns and threw an interception.

Before the game the Eagles retired the No. 20 worn by Brian Dawkins for 13 seasons.
