63 [Music] [Applause] officially seven on the first carry so second and three [Applause] Nilay as usual running so much of the show of the line takes a shot for Beckham who hasn't broken up two defenders women Malcolm Jenkins comes over from the safety spot to knock it away Nolan Carroll on the primary covers one of the things you're going to see all night long is this too deep look and they are not going to get out of it tonight they're just going to sit there so Eli Manning cannot get a tip on what they're going to do they're going to start basically in that formation every single time and not let Eli do what he does best which is change last minute and get into the exact right play Jenkins made the last play from the safety spot he now covers beckon in the slot top of the screen on third and three temeka Jenkins all over give me a terrific matchup if he's over there in the slot during the evening [Applause] tremendous job by Malcolm Jenkins here he's going to have to weave his way through this pic and he just does not even break stride against one of the faster players in the NFL not many safeties will have her line up against Odell Beckham and survived the fans cheering as Darren's pearls his back he missed last week after taking that hit from DeShazer ever to the Redskins went back for a punt suffered a concussion this the game last week in Baltimore back in it now then fielding of the 22 yard line as he makes the fail fair catch with Dwayne Harris closing in on all right let's meet the Philadelphia offense [Applause] Carson wins North Dakota State University Brian Matthews Fresno State Jordan Matthews Vanderbilt University Nelson a galore fight off dorial green-beckham Hillcrest High School Zach Ertz spam for Justin Peters Arkansas Alan Barbara very so Jason Kelsey Cincinnati Brandon Brooks Miami over Oklahoma Heather mentioned his return played early this team was good protecting Wentz on both edges with two very good tackles 10 game suspension and no contact with the team during that time showed up back at the office on Monday here he is starting at right tackle on Thursday night first carry Ryan Hughes coming off a good Dan Matthews with an opening first down that's Philadelphia has it just shy of the Giants 40-yard line Oh right away you're gonna feel the impact of Lane Johnson who has just returned out here at the right tackle position this was a guy who they started 3 & 1 with him playing tackle it gets suspended they go 2 and 8 without and then on the very first play nicely done and then gets out in front as well Pro Bowler on one side Jason Peters of the fourth-year player who's the fourth overall pick in Lane Johnson on the right [Applause] from the 39 whence will grow it and complete to Brent Celek it's a giant's territory at the 45 a gain of 16 for Carson Wentz suit got the job eight days before the season started when Sam Bradford was surprisingly traded to Minnesota he's kept the job all the way started every game this year learning process for sure but I think everyone in Philadelphia feels like we've got our guy going forward in the rookie out of North Dakota State and nothing really seems to bother him everybody that we talked to with the Philadelphia Eagles said that the best part about this young man is he's no different after all when after a posse just sort of sails along Philadelphia media doesn't bother him he's really able to handle what's been thrown at him so far a few slams it up inside of physical runners eight of four Romeo Barra made the tackle why don't we meet the rest of the Giants defense Romeo are there today Damon Harrison V William Penn University John the Hankinson the Ohio State University a Vernon luuuv d'Ivoire Kennard USC Kelvin Shepherd LSU Jonathan Casillas new brother high school reliable deal ha state university Landon Collins Alabama Andrew Adams UConn Dominique Rajkumar Tennessee State he'll be playing quarter instead of the slavich's be playing a bunch of because of to Doris Jenkins being out for the Giants filled up he's getting done on the ground so far Matthews will create third and short Christian ARS Jenkins part of the three big free agents they brought in this year it's been successful on this side of the ball but losing him means one you lose your best cover guy on the outside so then you're down another level on each side but basically the Philadelphia Eagles don't really have that scary wide receiver the way that some teams do so I think they're going to be okay it's going to be interesting to see if they play as much man coverage as they have been in some of the earlier games three tight ends in third and one Matthews patiently finds the spot and as a 1st down Giants 34 good opening drive here for Philadelphia and Steve spagnolo who knows both of these teams quite well as time on the defensive staff of both second tour duty as the Giants defensive coordinator dressed get his group organized yeah and I think Spagnola was basically afraid of playing without generous jenkins and to his defense has been playing great but too highly emotional games back to back against division leaders and Dallas in Detroit who's a little worried on the short week but the guys get it rolling here earlier from the 34 squirrels in three receivers downfield sowhat's will take up and Carson went to run it inside the 32 the first down marker on the 24 yard line [Applause] [Music] well Darren Sproles is not a big guy but when he comes up and steps through he's gonna get a nice chip there into the route he is probably the focal point for the New York Giants on this offense they want to make sure that Darren Sproles does not beat them tonight so if they get some double coverage it'll be on number 43 these wheels from once see game nine toss the scrolls down the block from Wayne Johnson wasn't Saugatuck Derek Scrolls opening drive Philadelphia touchdown [Applause] you think it's good that Lane Johnson back I was just thinking the same thing watch this getting out around of course the blocks down here that wayne johnson has certainly made huge difference already witnesses ability to get outside some of the combination blocks remember this is a short week it's not like they had practice this week and they're running around in shorts he hasn't hit anybody and whatever it's been ten weeks and he's been brilliant on that first ride tough snap Kamath skirt just pulled it down and able to knock it through Donnie Jones pulled it down the holder for the Kaitlyn Sturgis extra point 25 yard touchdown run for Sproles Philadelphia strikes first Thursday Night Football is brought to you by Lexus who wishes you happy holidays by Amazon Prime get free two-day shipping on millions of items by visa official

he was very happy with that opening drive I ran it well against a good run defense in Baltimore last week we ran it for 62 yards on that drive more than the Giants gave up in the game we this is Bobby Rainey on the return for New York pulled down awkwardly 22 yard line straight Burton over there let's meet the defense Eli Manning's going up against tonight Brandon Graham Michigan Fletcher Cox Yazoo City High School Vina dogie rail rule the high school Conner Barwon University of Cincinnati thiser gradum the Florida State University orden Hicks Texas Neal's in the Kevin to University Rodney McLeod the University of Virginia's Malcolm Jenkins the Ohio State University of Dayton walketh university of flow Nolan Carroll Maryland gave up 27 points the first three games of the season they've given up at least 27 each of the last four when they make good headway on this end playing with a lead here tonight it's will tie the tight end and immediately find only Carroll at a minimal gain on first down Jim Schwartz one time the head coach in Detroit got the Lions to the playoffs that was at Buffalo for years the defensive coordinator out of the league last year working in the league office actually helping with a football person involved in the officiating and other things this year back on the sidelines coordinating his Philadelphia defense play calling against Ben McAdoo tonight second angle drop with rookie Paul fucking's out of UCLA and Birkins eats the pile moving to set up third and long for so anytime you see this look and you can sort of play along at home you've got two deep safeties what Eli Manning is thinking is we should run the ball at that they don't have enough people down here in the box we should just go ahead and hand it off but you this is pro football too I mean you've got Eli Manning and Odell Beckham so you can't do that all the time now third five this is where this game is going to be decided these kind of situations it's going Shepherd back to the slot for the Giants batting the interception Malcolm Jenkins taking it evil touchdown [Applause] I think Eli got fooled on this one watch the safety drop down this one's going to drop out then you get man coverage but that wasn't a too deep situation and Eli tried to throw right into it and there he is Malcolm Jenkins jumping underneath it and what a difference in this defense mic when he's playing down instead of free safety he gets active in things that otherwise he's just sitting back there on big playmaker quick Lovato bad snap last time better one this time for the Khalid Sturgis extra point and the Giants stunned early first four minutes and 40 seconds down 40 Thursday Night Football is presented by Bud Light beer with your team on it as Rico Cris Collinsworth Heather Cox here in South Philly but Ben McAdoo's offense hasn't been putting up a lot of points think about 14 against Pittsburgh 10 against Dallas 17 against Detroit and now here they are down 14 not even halfway through the opening quarter which was not they had what they had on the drawing board it's touch back so you want to get everybody on the same page right so what happens after you get stunned the Jenkins picked 634 yards the first-year head coach pulled everyone in we do the pregame speech before I'm gonna get you back in here to make sure you just take a deep breath and stay calm you know they didn't turn it over and we could go for just the second time the entire season and they come right now and one of a lies great advantages is his ability to check in and out of plays and get his team in the right stuff and so far Jim Schwartz is showing him nothing and then moving after the snap so I start from the 25 or some Jennings with Gary Allen among those test Levi's Oh in there the second unit so to speak upfront for Jim Schwartz his defense yeah they're gonna rotate people through there's no question about that they've been doing that all season long ultimately the two guys are going to have to handle in this game or Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham those are the two best pass rushers along with Bennie curry 75 who's in there now [Applause] second a tiny islands Beckham's way Odell cannot hang on with the coverage Nigel Bradham was waiting for that crosser from bekommen just traditional stuff here this is a true Tampa two kind of defense right here and this is not anybody covering Odell Beckham one-on-one this is a dream scenario for the Eagles if you can zone all that guy and not have to have somebody pick them up in man coverage that's the best of all worlds and with this lead they can do exactly 13:9 time formatting but short incomplete intended for Victor Cruz manning is open one of six throw to pick six of the Giants are three and out Wow I mean Eli's coming off of one of his better games of the season a week ago and this has been a very shaky start for him Giants working into the wind here in this opening quarter Darren Sproles back to receipt come with it here with you Thursday night anything could happen right [Applause] [Music] Sproles gets away there is a penalty flag thrown a few yards past the line of scrimmage marked at the 35 for the moment cleat Blakeman is our referee tonight you know how much do teams hate it when their rival wants to come in and clinch in their house you know the Eagles are ready for this one giving Ben McAdoo the options tack it on or Rica kit it was third and nine for jives juices on refraction standing teamwork 52 five-yard penalty enforcing the end of the kick first down Philadelphia so instead of for that for just back up up to the 30 scrolls and Jacobs on the pick six early on and the Eagles up two touchdowns number two overall they figured to be the third quarterback but the Bradford trait I mentioned a moment ago means Carson Wentz got to start right away and a good start to the passer rating was strong it's leveled up as we've gone through the second quarter third quarter and now the final fourth of the season and you'll have touchdown to interception so sharp early the competition wasn't as good Cleveland Chicago yes there was a game against Pittsburgh in there but more interceptions the Eagles have been playing from behind when many of those interceptions have occurred some interceptions early overall though as Chris alluded to before was such a positive vibe around what Carson Wentz has brought to the Eagles struck by nuts it more incomplete and part of it all those numbers he does not have the best wide receiver quarantine and right on cue there you go it is such a head scratcher for me I've got to tell you this Nelson Aguilar I thought was a great pick by the Philadelphia Eagles and he has struggled with some of the easiest passes you watch him in college he caught the ball so easily catch and run plays you know just look like oh no back homer Jerry Rice and just and here it has been such a problem suspect Nolan on the defense when he saw straight Berkeley the tight end what a three eat on that play he gains three before Landon Collins 7 a great season it's safety for the Giants they attack Landon Collins makes plays like this all the time watch him run this down he is a good away she catches that ball and we saw it a week ago we see him with virtually no gain whatsoever on third down and two making plays just like that he is definitely one of those guys I think you have to throw them into the conversation I wouldn't personally vote for him but in the conversation for Defensive Player of the Year go down such an impact the back end of this Giants defense where they can use a stop on third and seven but setting the screen to squirrel's he's got space [Applause] bringing down by spreadin Wade playing a little bit more because of the injury to Takara's Jenkins and he keeps the Eagles from what could have been a bigger play well and this is what is a surprise that's one of the most elusive backs in all of football and the fact that Trevin Wade is playing in the slot is a little surprising to me I thought they would move Dominic Rodgers Cromartie back inside where he's been and play the Cody sensabaugh or Trev and wait outside maybe they knew something I didn't know that was a heck of a play Donnie Jones the punter takes the please step gets rid of it to Dwayne Harris will let it go be down inside the 5-yard line the three David Watkins back there to get it Donnie Jones proficient at back to the other team up Starring Jimmy Fallon tonight all-new welcoming Jim Parsons hit toy experts Evan and Jillian and December 99th on the December 22nd edition The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon all-new later tonight on NBC gods take over their own three with Paul puppies run up the middle for only two yards Chris really poor start here for this Giants offense couple of three announcement in the third down pick six and Malcolm Jenkins took back to the house how about Eli one four six four one yard so far they've taken three shots at Odell Beckham and nothing thus far Leodis McKelvin over there on them but a lot of safety help in behind and unless they can run the football we're going to lead that safety bad day the five good new bike opening up the minute rookie takes it to the 25-yard line pickup of 20 and the first down for Perkins now one of the guys that take some heat is Eric flowers but this combination now with just some cute back in there pretty good they're getting movement in the run game which is going to open up everything else you can basically just watch those safeties that those safeties start creeping down around the line of scrimmage that means it's having an impact we'll see I think they'll be patient though with this leader 25% bounce it to the outside that time gets tripped up and cannot get back to the line of scrimmage Justin Pugh came back in the lineup last week at very important played very well at left guard for the Giants how did he play in that first game back after missing five he was a little rusty I think even he would admit it you know he's one of those really athletic guys not even close he's their best offensive lineman started a tackle moved inside the guard but they really need him sort of the capitalist for this some of his movement skills very good lost two by Perkins second and a dozen Maddy take it off the spot rose on the run to the sidelines and sterling Shepard not to feed the mouse good job by Eli to keep that play alive or you are shy of the first down now they're gonna work a little stunt now a little pressure here and loop all the way around which is going to flush Eli out of the pocket nicely done a good stuff you don't typically think of you but that mobility that time made a big difference in now third one Brandon Graham 55 that pass rush off the edge for the Eagles one situation here for the Giants and Perkins fights forward against the first down interesting player here who's Chris this is a fifth round pick and Perkins if jerel Adams their sixth round pick a tight a couple of rookies here in funny time we're starting to play important downs no question about it and here look at the man coverage out there Mike on third one so if you ever do want to take your shot with Odell Beckham down the field that's the opportunity in those tight sittings they're gonna come up and play they play the run if you want to take a shot deep - Odell that's probably when you're gonna have to do it [Applause] three minutes opening quarter first drives with first downs for the Giants just the yard there on the inside Jordan Hicks teaming up to tackle a couple of really good inside linebackers for the Philadelphia Eagles the more I watch those two guys the more I appreciate him Nigel Branham who came over from Buffalo basically because he wanted to stay with jim schwartz and jordan hicks one of the really bright young players you watch him and what he can do in pass coverage just tremendous number 58 it took pics to a third ranked the 2015 draft his second year [Applause] see what Eli sees you just the play takes the shopper Becca about Devin [Applause] and safety could get over there in time and it turns into a big pass and catch up 31 yards I don't know why they tipped they're in there they've been to put so well basically the safety is going to come down they know it's a single receiver over here where do you think they're gonna go with the football one safety in the middle of field you'll hear the term single high that's what that means and then that dumps all the pressure on Leodis McKelvin to try and cover that monster and not gonna happen Robo receiver yet again Odell Beckham closing in on a 110 season over a thousand yards 10 touchdowns 31 Rashad Jennings big run up the middle Jennings gets a first down so the Giants with a good-looking drive here at the back end of the opening quarter really pretty simple little power play there but because they don't have enough guys down around the line of scrimmage some of these power plays are just gonna be opening up gaping holes so good patience on the part of Eli Manning the one time they gave him an opportunity to go deep he got Odell Beckham and now he's back to banging that running down and that I'm gonna bring a next route that's a lotta Marcie new houses over here on the left side six offensive linemen they're gonna run it that way with Jennings 16 yard line just a few leading there with a block down 40 nothin stay in patient staying with the gameplay now they bring marshal new house and extra offensive line in the name and this is some of the ability now of Justin Q to get out in front of these plays this is some of what has been missing out of this Giants running game he doesn't look rusty tonight drive that started at their own free now in the redzone [Applause] and it's picking up stone except for the intended receiver the last-minute Leodis McKelvin select arm got the way that looked like a touchdown all away McElveen is going to be way behind this one but look at what he did the minute that he recovered from that thing he started running for the corner he knew immediately what Shepard was going to do her at least he guessed and ran right underneath it great play by was his left arm it hit him into helmet they went after him in the first matchup between these teams and eight four-man rush Maddy how about to my foot sir got to the pass incomplete intended for his shot Jennings but Hawks with the pressure on Manning and forces the incompletion now Fletcher Cox's mismatch on a lot of different people but here's the coverage down the field Beckham coming on the underneath route again Malcolm Jenkins on him there's Leodis McKelvin on the outside but they're staying zone out there which all they're really trying to do Mike is just get Eli to hold the ball a second longer because they think Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham can win on the pass rush Robbie golden police Josh Brown Rizzoli his hip and the former bear hits the Giants on the board with ten seconds left in the opening quarter 43 Philadelphia showdown Christmas Eve yelled the Bengals of the Texans at 8:15 on NFL Network and then Christmas Day the Ravens and the Steelers the Steelers can win the AFC North from the intense great rivalries in the league with a lot on the line that will be on Sunday in Pittsburgh they've got most of the games coming up on Christmas Eve than that Christmas Eve night game with the Bengals and Texans on Christmas Day Ravens Steelers on NFL Network Chiefs Broncos here on NBC the Cowboys play the monday nighta Belgian alcohol kickoff return step 1 to the 20s knock down two yard line by Devante Skinner rivalries in the division that's what's so great about the schedule now at the end of the year this is what we get Phillies out of the playoff picture but as you said before they love to ruin it for the Giants and the Cowboys next week if the Cowboys have something to standard yeah and you know with Carson Wentz now there is a great feeling in Philadelphia that they're building it the right way so what would be better than knocking off the Giants ok yeah you guys go ahead to the playoffs Dallas Cowboys go to the playoffs but our future is starting to feel pretty good we come in here and knock these guys out of there clinched tonight what's looking for his first division went Eagles our own four in the division this year Ryan Mathews with a run for a yard that will bring us to the end of the opening quarter here in Philadelphia with the score equals 14 Giants 3 Thursday Night Football continues after these [Music] from Philadelphia tonight's aerial coverage is provided by Geico couple shopping days left until Christmas Tricia get your Christmas shopping done online baby I've been home and Mike Tirico and Frau Michaels with Cris Collinsworth and Heather got second quarter begins here in Philadelphia Eagles jump down to the board seat nothing lead Giants a field goal on their last drive meant to complete for Jordan Matthews we talked with a return of Wayne Johnson here tonight yeah I never thought about fresh legs applying to a tackle but clearly it does Lane Johnson the former quarterback coming back in a tackle and his athleticism showing up right away and the other thing Mike that I think is a huge thing to talk about is this is a very rare team in the NFL that has two top end tackles most teams have one at best some have none we've seen those teams this year but having both of these guys Jason Peters and Lane Johnson back in the lineup this looks like the way the Eagles started the season season three and OH four and two they've gone this losing skid as when's takes the timeout with the play clock running down as we go down to Heather Cox well you guys mentioned Lane Johnson's been away from the team for 10 weeks Lane told me that when he returned he said I could feel the anger I could feel the frustration in the locker room at me I failed my team I'm full of bottled up anger and frustration now while he was away to stay in shape he did work out in a Oklahoma combine training facility but admitted you know it's hard to replicate that game action he did say I've been winded in training all week but guys so far looking pretty good wouldn't you say absolutely Heather Chris mentioned he was a quarterback in junior college at Kilgore College actually threw 61 passes there and then he went as a tight end to Oklahoma briefly moved to the defensive line and finally found that home an offensive tackle pretend game suspension for a second failed tests regarding performance-enhancing drugs but think about for a young quarterback to know that both sides are basically secure that's a whole different way to look at a defense [Applause] rookie quarterback his third at eight points in trouble keeps the play alive chased by okura got away from quartz twice down fires downfield for Marty the feed down in Dominic Rochester Artie comes up with the interception at the 38 yard line [Music] that's another one the duck Peterson will talk about learning the hard way this is not North Dakota State this is Santa fell it's gonna fly I mean there was a receiver opened down to feel but he's 40 yards away and do you know how much ground Dominick Rogers Cromartie can cover while that balls in the air I know now he does he has so many of his interceptions he's throwing 14 on the year - I've been throwing with the lead this is the second one Rodgers compartir the catch one - so both feet inbounds it's a turnover it turns out to be just under 40 yard net punt the same effect but your point is terrific long-term they'll be sitting in Washington that's probably a mistake he won't make it a couple of years well that's what Frank Reich the offensive coordinator was talking about he said it's one thing we didn't plan on playing this young man at all but think of all the tape all the teaching we can do off of mistakes just like that for next year chanting the Giants have put together another good Drive get right back in it the 38 patting down the bones shepherd good man tried to get it to Sterling Shepard coming across the middle of the field well they got him again in single coverage you just have to be able to make the play I mean Eli is starting to pick up exactly what's going on here that's man-to-man coverage with your slot receiver against the safety you just got to catch that ball I mean for the Giants that's too easy [Applause] Shepard second on this team 55 receptions [Applause] back in the Slava's Perkins run across the 40 to the 42 yard line it's a pretty good back at UCLA his dad Paul senior played with Tampa Bay his uncle Don Ferguson where he's a year for the Cowboys front of a Pro Bowl career this young man a good runner third all-time at UCLA with his nearly 3,500 rushing yards has started to emerge here over the last couple games as best game last week against the lines 11 carries for 56 yards and he understands protections and he makes good blocks had a good day against Jamie we first got the attention of the coaching staff thirty-six incomplete to Beckham it was blanketed the turnover the Eagles defense comes up with a three and out against the Giants anytime you've got Odell Beckham on one side of the field the safety is going to be flying that way so they're just going to have to be a little patient they need some of these other receivers start making a few plays take some pressure off of Beckham Darren Sproles back to the Brad wing puttan [Applause] said nobody can catch so I know how to balance of the two that was a line drive like a Pierrot single going out there and he like me now maybe eight yards for what's to go let's talk a little stars war here I want to get certain Olivier Vernon Brandon Graham two guys that have been applying the pressure all season long when you combine the sacs that hits and the hurries number one Olivier Vernon number two Brandon Graham two outstanding for three defensive ends and I love looking at it that way because you just look at sacks that doesn't define it so off it's the other things the pressure they put on and by adding the hit to the hurries you get that disruptive number for those to decide here tonight on barber the left guard what's the locker room discuss key inflamed rough the Eagles right now only about a yard and a half years Heather an update for you on Alan barber he does have a right hamstring injury it's the same hamstring that kept him out of the last two games for the Eagles he is questionable it's a return Mike so Stefan Wisniewski in there start his career with the Raiders a second-round pick was in Jacksonville last year has been part of the group that has been trying to keep things together with the spate of injuries upfront he's back in it left guard now [Applause] [Music] [Applause] right now he's garrison to speak to appear whence being chased throws complete to Brent's son instead of third about three yards every canary in there for the Giants in on the tackle and this is the real difference maker for Carson Wentz in my opinion yes he's a big strong guy visible guy but he is also fast when he took off for what looked like the game-tying touchdown a week ago he put his head down and just ran over people basically to get into the end zone he is fast he is big he is strong think a little bit of Ben Roethlisberger that sort of size but much faster than what then was he big fat suit [Applause] check it out Christmas night 33 and another time out once what's know what happened there foreplay club this is a 30-second timeout the second one Philadelphia's had to use here with the play clock running down you know what's really been interesting for me is that this New York Giants defense has been better without Jason pierre-paul now that is not possible that's the dumbest statement of all time but in reality against two very good teams the last couple of weeks they have just been sensational and give credit to Steve spagnolo you just wonder how long can that keep up because they really don't have another pass rusher other than Olivier Vernon the pass person was a concern in the early part of the season see they weren't getting that productivity it's certainly now of a quorum the Yazawa interest in snaps at that defensive end position three and the Giants were ready for it Ryan Mathews is stopped Quorra who we just just mentioned along with Jonathan Hankins forcing the three and out Romeo war is gonna want us to show up all the time he had an unbelievable game that night against the Dallas Cowboys and comes off and makes this play as well he's sort of the one he and Kerry win Kerry Wayne I think a little bit more of the one player but whare maybe the guy they're gonna bring in in some pass rush situation so two for one for Jason pierre-paul and so far it's been working free-agent have Notre Dame they're into the wind this punt could send a good field position for the Giants Harris has to run up to shy of midfield to make the catch the football [Applause] Falls on it for the Giants Trevon Wade able to get there and avoid where have been a huge turnover because it's such good field position for the Giants Bowl special teamer couldn't hang on got bailed out by his teammate tremon wait [Applause] NFL Thursday Night Football is presented by Bud Light beer with your team on it start the week here Sunday night the Broncos and the Chiefs surprise that terrific game we had the Sunday after Thanksgiving the KC one of the upright and hit by car Santos football and America start you off 7:00 Eastern Time that out Chris Michele at the game Christmas night on NBC Arrowhead take over the field position at their own 44 man Shepard Connolly's instead of balance by Jenkins Brittany of that first down mark at the Eagles 46 yeah that was a little too much space out there you know you get the two deep safety Lord there but you've got to walk somebody underneath it right there Michael Kendricks has got it that ball step awesome they're just one by else out there to cover that ground frustrating season for Kendricks whose players dipped the parents in his first few years here in Philadelphia Shepard the first down to carry and not much there Fletcher Cox the Pro Bowler named this week it on the tech this is the matchup you have to worry about right here against John Jerry if you're the New York Giants this is one Fletcher Cox has a way of just overpowering people on the inside as does Graham on the outside so if you're gonna run maybe a better idea to run left you can see in a few double teams get Forks down as you said adjust to that get part of the stories whole career here but see war about three yards in the market with two John yeah just to finish up on Fletcher Cox a little bit here's the guy had four sacks in the first four games and then what happened everybody news a big contract that he got and they started paying attention to him and he goes this huge gap with no sex whatsoever and he's had two and a half down class to basically jim schwartz telling us that he had to adjust he had to start playing the star stars get double-team 13:7 Manning's got four in the pattern he's got time and he's got victim for the first down at the 30 yard line getting logan peeled back from his defensive live spot makes the tackle but the move James first down big blue well it was really a matter of the protection here because you're going to get this income but the only way you get that is if this offensive line gets the job done and that time Bobby Hart did a fantastic job there's Eric flowers on the outside against Conor borrowing just long enough to get that bass off he was approaching the defensive lines Wilcox out of it see if the Giants can run it on this first down via play actually with Manning complained to Victor Cruz to me hang on if it stands it was used the ball of it Nolan Carroll say look up the replay Street Giants have rushed to the line trying to get it in [Applause] lays off this could get the challenge down it's a game of two yards on the run for Jennings think you caught it but too late it all happens fast nice job by the Giants it looks loose go onto the ground who knows now they may not have been enough to overturn it but this is what this games going to turn into I think the Eagles are going to let them move relatively easy between the 20 but now it's game on down here in the red zone sixteen vadik Jennings boss if a couple third year out of Wisconsin they took with the seventh round some of the good play there or that was really good play because he was basically on the wrong side of that screen just a few did a good job of getting him inside of him and he still was able to recover and get back underneath that screen pass really nice recognition and good athleticism they're better defensive linemen back into Philadelphia on third and nine with cap nanogram coming up the middle the pass is incomplete looking for Beckham who was double-team but it all starts with a pressure from Brandon Graham coming inside well here's what you can't do if you're Bobby Hart you can't let this big guy take the inside route and as you step back because that is a direct line to Eli Eli had about 2/10 of a second longer right over the top that time of Jalen Watkins and probably scores but once again down here in the red zone Oldham to a field goal which from 35 against the 35 knocks it through working with the wind here in Philadelphia he was two touchdowns Giants two field goals new Celebrity Apprentice with the baddest boss in town Arnold Schwarzenegger all new celebrities including NFL stars Ricky Williams and Eric Dickerson in their two new Celebrity Apprentice it premieres Monday January 2nd we're going to start your new year on NBC on the door 2017 week 16 in the NFL still out only ten teams eliminated 22 still with Super Bowl hopes they can get to Houston no return tackle or lets it go and here's Heather Cox Mike our throwback Thursday tradition continues tonight with player picks from their childhood take a look and start with a Giants rookie quarterback he liable as mom and Andy posted this one on Twitter and Zach Ertz when he was just one his mom told us she still remembers how expensive that photographer was that he didn't sit still answer Nick's in fifth graders first year of football and finally Odell Beckham posted this from when he played soccer with the hashtag Bend It Like Beckham little T V T for you guys that's pretty cool of course Beckham played soccer or Beckham played soccer was a star right he was a good soccer player do people don't really realize they wanted him for some of those national teams he could be good neighbors Mathews with the carry minimal game look with me the tackle that David Harrison in their big old snacks remember him he was with the Jets his first four years makes the free agency move goes across the hallway if you will at MetLife Stadium from the Jets to the Giants and then what a great personality he has Chris yeah we were talking to him then we wanted to talk to one of his teammates I said who's sitting around you on the bus and he said Jay Bromley so tell me something about snacks that he's scared of dogs I was like scared a dog are you talking about put him back on he said I'm from Louisiana they know nice dogs breezy with the 26 back used to the landing Collins pulls about a bounce game for the Eagles who haven't found the first down in the last three drives gonna face third and five here yeah the Eagles come out on that first drive and go 78 yards in no first downs since so they really now are going to need Carson Wentz to come up with a play this is Doug Peterson knows he has to be patient with that running game it's not easy to run against the New York Giants inside with all that beef but third and five is a makeable third down for a young quarterback these are the plays that he has to convert the times you see it just Scrolls or Earths they'll swing it out tutorial bring backup to a lot of traffic Green Beckham at the 37-yard line before Cody sensabaugh makes the tackle you know this story Olimpico was the number one recruit coming out his year in high school of all the prospects if you think about some of the amazing ones but when he gets in the open field this guy's a monster he's like 6 foot 5 and 230 pounds and when he is on the move very difficult to get him on the ground I was a nice play call too big years at Missouri ran into legal issues arrests dismissed event was dismissed at Mizzou went to Oklahoma now over the years wets a lot of space and slides at the 45 conversation off the one with slides one of the contact is made an Eli Apple's gonna draw a flag here it looks like an attack 15 on it's an interesting boy you know I think Eli Apple was trying to pull off of that hit you can see him getting his head out of the way here personal foul unnecessary roughness defense I know these quarterbacks are valuable and they're not going to lose any of them but he did everything he could do did a slide himself pulled his head out basically just hit him with one hand no he saw what happened Monday night with Han Newton who played towards the sideline he slides late the effort is made to try not to hit him but he end up hitting him and Newton gets no flag thrown for him but one against him when he threw the ball at the Redskins defender taunting his fall just like that they convert the third down hit the big penalty and yards to Nelson alcohol [Applause] great job here by Carson Wentz he's going to come up he sees the coverage he wants is a little hand signal he knows what he wants to do the deep over going across this guy is going to go in man coverage and know Steve released can't catch it Nelson tackle our is that thing was coming down he made darn sure he had his hands underneath that one just his second touchdown reception on the season [Applause] surges of the upright and something about when you're called a misread bank shots it must be us the Lord to the Enzo one more time and the Eagles put together two drives here and there up 21 six celebrate the event film of the holiday season with sick sorry Matthew McConaughey for illumination the greeters of despicably and the secret life of pets sing it's now in theaters Liberty Bell here in Philadelphia Eagles with a big momentum swing their 21-6 Wayne Harris who the return once again Mahmood gorge a hill which we tackle on field for the Giants here's the touchdown never know for sure but I'm gonna guess this is a quarters coverage here and once this guy goes across land and Colin should have stayed back and then let the other safety pick that up you'll see plan turn around [Applause] the other side there are so many different things involved in coverage but you could tell how uncomfortable Collins was when that guy ran back into his own now they're talking to Eli Apple so never know if maybe he's the replacement guy that's supposed to go back the pylons goes across [Applause] Perkins to carry games maybe a yard and a half on first down went with the beautiful throat with it Chris a ton with the momentum there is third and five the Giants have gotten three three and outs in a row they pick up the first down with Green Beckham get the 15 yards tacked on to the run by Wentz and boom the 40-yard striking just like that at 50 Durrell Adams the rookie tight end switching sides for the Giants and no time one-twenty key yard line for the tight end at a Stony Brook the office McElveen was back in coverage you know and one of the other things that this Giants offense gets a lot of is that to man coverage which is in my opinion the hardest thing to get open again man coverage running on 100 e too deep threat to one and that sort of what breaks that coverage they get a lot more of it than believe the Rams jobs 33 a lot of noise here in Philly time pick this up and down the cat took their boos it's in two Eagles territory at the 48 yard line he's so good for him to come back here that's where he was injured two years ago there was that to man coverage so McElveen underneath the thought he had safety help over the top the safety help just simply did not get there from jail and wagons I jumped the ball quick worked by Perkins for up three yards you remember you guys were hearing you and Al's that Sunday night with Victor Cruz at that devastating knee injury two years ago didn't play last year so this his first game back in Philadelphia his comeback has been terrific he has not had a great season who from that slot where he was so good to the outside limited to just 30 catches on the year but for him to come back can only imagine the emotions the back on this view seven areas back Chris he came back before the game ran right down first thing to that exact spot where he got hurt though though bet his partner joined down there for reflective moment [Applause] some confidence onto this field you can only admire guys who do that no situation it's always nice to have a friend like that too because you know it's hard to walk back in this Stadium have to go down knowledge that spot [Applause] 32 manic complete through the perfect spot for sterling Shepard Giants respond to that Eagles score with a good drive as we hit the two-minute warning Giants win and they're in the playoffs but the Eagles standing up their way Lexa's halftime report coming up guys tug with the crucial Christmas doubleheader for the AFC playoff picture hook it into Ravens Steelers and we'll have for you on NFL Network and then Broncos Chiefs that will have on Sunday Night Football from Kansas City final two minutes of this verse that equals get the ball to start the second half so big drop here for the Giants first attempt one with Jennings goes No it races that there we go you learn the hard way sometimes when you play tight end to if you are out there jerel Adams to rookie and you know that run play is away and Brandon Graham right there you better take a different aiming for second at 13 hot sauce will tide 31-yard are gonna mark his forward progress in the 38 of beats third and six coming up with 85 seconds till halftime you know and this is allowing jim schwartz to play a conservative back end which is going to frustrate Odell Beckham an Eli Manning he really has no choice but they just keep checking it first time tonight Bobby Rainey in it running back third and six [Applause] and gets the first down off the hit by Jenkins to the 21 yard line 8 seconds left Maccabees gonna let him keep rolling he's magical with the ball in his hands isn't he I was afraid for a second he wasn't gonna get the first down then I thought walls Odell he'll get there down to 45 seconds left throws incomplete if crews have hands on it couldn't get it we should point out there's a good wind here and it's kind of moving from the Giants sideline towards the Eagles sideline Mike watch this watch Brandon Graham he's not going to get a sack we talked about the pressures and what that means watch this going underneath heart and you could see that Eli had a sort of short arm that drove but that's the kind of disruption we talked about with Brandon Graham he's never had more than six and a half sacks in a season but he always disrupts the quarterback his hurries and hits you talked about the wind I was talking about a moment ago turn out to the Giants Eli's hands to Sterling Shepard final take your time out here 37 seconds left then McAdoo will before Thursday Thursday Night Football brought to you by the new Volkswagen Golf all tracked with 4motion all-wheel drive by Macy's by Microsoft Surface the official tablet of the NFL and by Wendy's taco salad the Eagles cookies with rookies an event they held last week benefiting the stepping-stones Scholar Program there's so many teams around the league do so many things around the holiday season especially Bravo to all the players in the staffs around the National Football League Community Relations departments work to make their community a better place not just in the standings tip of the headset to 33 first down way to the child three receivers at the bottom and since it vertically part of the middle touchdown Giants big time drive much needed for the Giants and sterling Shepard has eight touchdowns on his rookie season watch this booth this is a patient move by a young receiver watch this 1 2 3 zip that's tough right there Odell would have been proud of that one watch him make this move he is going to be something he really is he already is that's his eighth touchdown on the year special player [Applause] there's so much of his work in the slot on the gold adds the extra point he's 21 to 13 with 33 seconds remaining [Music] it's bucks needed touchdown take this one up all the way to halftime Christian thinking about been McAdoo he calls the team over down 14 nothing you've got Eli Manning he's playing in his 200 NFL game tonight 198 straight start patients can't panic there's a whole game left you can't start throwing the gameplan out and that was a really good drive to get them within one score I'm trying to think is Eli Manning ever panicked over anything in his home I read you know sometimes you wonder if he has a pulse or not he comes out 1 4 6 for 1 yard and but you knew he was going to begin to solve the puzzle through the pick-6 and now slowly methodically he sees what they're doing he took check down after check down after check down and then when he got the man coverage that he wanted hit him for the touchdown [Applause] with the wind Vivian at the 25-yard line mixing all the NFL games that mean chunk that usually on Sunday will be on Saturday so it's a nine a m-- eastern starts Saturday NFL Network day and JE opens up about his unlikely road to the NFL retires the company of gameday morning for you 9:00 Eastern Saturday Christmas Eve on NFL Network yeah when a giant hit you for that British accent it's a little stunning isn't it like wait hold on and then and then when he hit you when he's running - yeah good job we saw him gaze his team last Saturday up at MetLife beat the Jets and they have themselves because the Broncos lost in the sixth spot they go to Buffalo on Saturday close with New England got in South Florida on New Year's Day 33 seconds one timeout left I got Eagles get the ball to start the second half then I'm taking the knee it's a complete gonna sack Burt's on the sideline inbounds momentum stop so they continue to churn the clock and one o'clock it here after the first down now that was a big not being able to get out of balance moment there 15 seconds left you just get the feeling that Doug Peterson and Frank Reich are just wanting to put this young quarterback in as many tough big game situations as they can this year so that they have more to work with this offseason why not come out here you know maybe if you're playing for a championship you take a day and you punted away Carson Wentz let's see what he's got the difference being a first-year head coach gave the Whoopie quarter better control sounds it second in ten towards the sideline incomplete try to get into Jordan Matthews Eagle sideline wants a instead it says third down with 11 seconds to go I tell you Trevon waits done a nice job in there and the slot Dominic Rogers Cromartie once he moved to the slot I thought really made a difference for this defense of course to Norris Jenkins their best not playing in this game Eli Apple on the outside but so far we've seen him make a big open field tackle and his coverage has been good we need about 26 yards to have a legit shot of the field goal again it's into the wind it is 30 10 but 11 seconds left and looking for the screen they send it to squirrels at the Gila spoils across midfield to the 44 yard line Willie the time one second remaining I'll get one shot the end zone even Robinson down there chasing for the Giants well this is the guy they were worried about Darren Sproles he said if I'm gonna double-team anybody it's going to be him and they really had people all over that it's it's almost remarkable isn't it when you see that guy on the field we went out to practice the other day for the Philadelphia Eagles and it's a walk through and I think it makes Doug Peterson craziest this guy without warming up they don't get loose they don't do calisthenics and he is sprinting all over this walkthrough because that's just the way he's wired so one two seconds one more put back on the clock Giants sent five defenders back no Odell Beckham who did play one snap against a Hail Mary earlier this season wets will step into it 20 field vote for the deflection and it ends [Music] it got deflected backwards an allure was chasing nothing happening he's got the ball to start the second half Alexa's halftime report is coming up at the break 20 the Thursday Night Football properly love a penultimate weekend of the NFL season starts here make use two Scrolls swivels it's on the test Derrick's pearls opening drive Philadelphia touchdown Manning proves the interception Malcolm Jenkins pardeeville touchdown I think Eli got pulled on this one [Applause] and that takes us to the second half here in Philadelphia get a look at Center City all this Thursday before Christmas 2113 Philly on top equals get the ball first the 21 points allowed in the first half the most the Giants defense has given up all season they were on a great run coming in Eli got up to the 1 for six start got better especially that last drive carson wentz 8 of 14 touchdown and a pick Giants keeping the ball 43 plays including 21 in their last two drives the Eagles offense a little bit lower than that the teams combined for one penalty tied for the fewest in the half this season making everyone happy except the friends ARELIS of cleat Blakeman our referees owned it seen on camera once here tonight third quarter underway as Robbie gold kicks it into the wind so returns going this way hello shy of the 20 yard line with Shaq before the Giants great matchup out here Olivier Fernand one of the great pass rushers in the league against Jason Peters another Pro Bowl probably headed for the Hall of Fame got a little help early on from Darren Sproles but then it's just been one-on-one between these two great players been fun to watch [Music] Vernon part of that big group the Giants brought in Ely offseason the post of the defense this was such a bad defense last year 420 yards a game last in the league we have a place stoppage here before the first snap and Zach Ertz is being escorted toward the sidelines here for Philadelphia he was out there on kickoff coverage I don't know if one of the officials saw that he might be hurt Burks is walking over to the bench he must have just been a little wobbly out there I think he got his way he was hopping a little bit coming out of that play so maybe that's it this Eagle Drive starts from the 20 Ryan Matthews running the lights only half on that one Keenan Robinson in food tackle alerts has been a big factor of late for this team play sure has been and there's on the left-hand side and I think maybe his own guy a little friendly fired he has 63 catches on the year and 60 of his 88 targets this year have all come in the last six games we caught one ball in the first half is a putana great comfort area for Carson Wentz officially two on first down Matthew's on second at 8 Samson chased a Bolivian burning Rosabelle couple of those positions we were talking about that it bolster this New York defense yeah both of them you get inside and outside and there's Vernon right there snack Saracens gonna jump underneath Jason Kelsey but the one thing that the Eagles I'm sure did not want to do tonight is set up Jason Kelsey to be one-on-one against Damon Harrison inside as long as they're running laterally that really plays to Kelsey's advantage he's a very fast very athletic center but not a big guy and there they go right on his nose once again mixed in stats show you its back on the field five to the pattern for once whoo very similar to your sexy through lawyers have Jonathan Casillas almost had another one you know and I think he could have hit that one and he's kind of beating himself in the head a little bit but there was plenty of room to throw this one out on the sidelines there was a little gap and he just didn't see Casillas I guess and just gave him a chance but that's the second time he's had to learn that these defenders in the NFL are faster than what you've seen before the Eagles open with a three now Harris back petals of the 30 the Blanca wins gets his space boas he pulled down a wonderful play on special teams by Terrence Brooks the safety got up on the leg it would not let go percocet coverage what would Brad us for Philadelphia tonight football is brought to you by mercedes-benz the best or nothing by Old Navy by Papa John's the official pizza sponsor of the NFL and by Verizon it's always a great gift on Verizon getting ready for the 116th annual Plummers Parade on New Year's Day museum Philadelphia experience shot Jennings first down run to the Giants 38 yard line penalty flag is down 1 assessed one declined in that first holding offense number 67 10-yard penalty replay first down flag adjusted cute here's Heather Cox well Mike the Eagles Doug Peterson said the success on offense came once they started moving quarterback Carson once around he said the problem is we're just not getting enough touch as we need more offensive snaps now for the Giants in Ben McAdoo with Eli Manning starting 1 of 6 with an interception he said the change came once they started protecting him better but that the team must do a better job catching the ball same quote I am NOT happy with the way the receivers are catching the ball Mike one process for stone Shepherd right through his hands flag made it first and 20 and three of them back on the Jennings County I think about the last two drives have been back in his team's the 12 plan I play Drive had set up the field goal and then the 12 play drive for the touchdown with Giants last had it before half-time to get them back with an 8 if you're just joining us the Eagles jumped out to the 14-nothing lead early in the first quarter [Applause] seconds 17 we'll just get into Jennings trying to get as much death penalty yardage bag you would be third 11 for the Giants from the 32 you know Mike I keep thinking that maybe this is going to be a really good thing for this New York Giants offense the fact that they got behind early they can't play inside a she'll be protected by their defense anymore they've got to open some things up the problem is by being behind Jim Schwartz is staying in these deep sort of coverages to frustrate the big play ability of some of these giant receivers beckons bottom of the screen right over the clock third and 11 fires that way victim first down into equals territory and on the run where he's so dangerous brought down at the 41 yard line pickup of 26 to the first down for the Giants just his own defense and you're going to get the safety right here and the corners going to stay and you end up hitting that hole right there anytime you're playing against the cover to kind of team that is the spot that you have to defend and if you're Nolan Carol you have to understand that's Odell Beckham out there you can't worry about what's in the flat underneath you have to get some depth perception takes Beckham to 4,000 career receiving yards eighty of them coming here tonight first down batting throw now the sideline moves hi Bob with Jenkins as banika into the end of the play by beau Allen let's take a look how the Philadelphia Eagles have been covering Odell Beckham there was plenty of help around him try to get a little pick route get him open against Malcolm Jenkins and then against cover to plenty of time therefore the safety come over make the play here was the one time they really left him one-on-one and paid a price go for the gear Jennings to the 21 yard line so they gas him for a big run of nearly 20 yards and the Eagle tried to make the tackle Jalen Watkins is the injured Philadelphia player will step out earlier for Eli Manning misses consecutive start 198 that's third all-time Brett Favre as the market to 97 then brother Peyton at 208 Eli ten behind they've been there all the time and their backups have done very little work over the years they've got how long those guys are in these places 338 from farms backups 209 full Peyton Manning and Eli all with the same team obviously with only 98 and his backup tonight by the way is Josh Johnson Ryan nasod is on injured reserve an elbow injury that he suffered at practice several weeks ago has been bothering him finally sending him to IR Josh Johnson is the bad guy Daler Watkins being looked at by the medical staff on the sidelines jaelyn bills now on the game or Philadelphia and here's Victor Cruz by Carroll look it's a first down and the Giants are in the red zone of 12 yeah and a really significant change now because of the injury Malcolm Jenkins has to go out of that slot position where you can affect the game so much and they bring in jail and mills but this is a different looking defense even if they stay back and keep in that sort of to deep look it was a seventh round pick the rookie out of LSU diets down eight back to cruise rent that time by Carol and erased [Music] [Applause] so now here's Malcolm Jenkins and you've got one safety in the middle of field so now tremendous pressure if they continue to play that way on the corners on the outside if they stay in that mode you are going to see Odell Beckham starting getting blown some balls right here says that all three of their receivers at the top of the screen and Jennings down here at the bottom four-man rush another drop [Music] that one his hands and it sends I'm third at nine well I said they were gonna throw it to a man and say he's gonna catch it you know the rest of that sentence sometimes you know Beckham's had a couple of drops his right thumb has been bothering it for about a month he has been told by McAdoo you got to get past those drops you cannot let them linger dance I've been humble here no chance to think about [Applause] Perkins the bat next to Eli third now putting it up towards back of who's looking back to the flag to the contact in that first five yard area with Golan Carol there's no flag and a field goal attempt coming nicely done you're going to get a little wheel route and you're going to turn into a fade up top and Nolan Carroll is just going to stay right there with it contact right around the 5 yard area Dell Beckham photos maybe a little deep but that is a big stand right there for this defense ivy Gold's got a pair of 35s kick you from 29 here we got only four field goals with the Giants 3 tonight 7 3 7 it is time with the Giants who have cut the Philadelphia lead to five [Applause] well Thursday Night Football is presented by Bud Light beer with your team on it your team's the Giants you know it's win tonight and in the playoffs more win next week against Washington if your teams the Cowboys you're watching a giant loss here tonight beeps Dallas would win the NFC s and secure the number one seed in the road to the Super Bowl in the NFC would go through no return Carson Wentz will take over from the 25 car sweats young guy get ready to church 24 on December 30th always like celebrity brothers who own shares my birthday pony and athletics to separate there's a home run the great sandy Koufax's turn 81 in a weekend it comes with is Tiger Woods who returns 41 on December 30 52,000 could send a picture of himself today and LeBron James turns 32 so Koufax Tiger and LeBron that for a good birthday that's pretty strong right there you want one more for that day good Matt Lauer yes he's asleep anyway let's hang just making sure everybody knows I've made the full corporate move here water is an oil deal hangar back now back in Rio from the 25 here is once - George Matthews for a gain of about 67 yards so by Carson Wentz from North Dakota there is Bismarck North Dakota point do they love their football there North Dakota State won five consecutive FCF GMCs championships lost at home in the semifinals but it's been neat to watch as the season has gone on especially when when she was getting so hot they were calling this when Sylvania you can fit almost all of Bismarck here at Lincoln Financial Field but they were wearing all their Eagles gear they got fully behind the Wentz wagon if you will in Bismarck where they loved them leading their team to championships as they didn't show it up there when it got too good spec good start cook mentor right Matthews rather them first down to shy of the 40-yard line and pick up of nearly eight yards you know what's interesting is this season the bye week kill to really top in teams think about it Philadelphia jumps out three and OH take goodbye and then the whole thing goes away - and on Minnesota starts out five and OH gets a bye and the whole thing goes away I mean it has been bizarre that that's happened to two of the fast starting teams this year Minnesota two and seven since that bye [Applause] first down throw from the 40 and Lex gets it to Brent Celek watch the ball on the way down in Zach Ertz is back to the game is on the spot there they're gonna mark him down back where the contact happened to the 45 so just a gain of five on first down and here's Heather again Mike a couple of Eagles injury updates for you left guard Alan Barber has been downgraded to out with that hamstring injury and safety Jalen Watkins who was assessed by both the UNC that neurological consultant and the team internist was just escorted into the locker room is in the concussion protocol as you guys mentioned Jalen Mills is in as his replacement hey Heather Stefan wis deuce you stepped in the first half from the injured left guard Alan Barbara names in the Linus come 61 at first look wasn't there Wentz is able to flip it to Ryan Matthews a yard on that play it'll be third down and short yeah and we're starting to see now Steve spagnolo stack the line of scrimmage and a little bit more here too you can tell that he is a guy that in his heart really wants to bring pressure right now he's got a little bit of a problem tonight in the jinora Jenkins his best cover guy who had a great day against Dez Bryant in the Dallas Cowboys not in there so maybe not quite as inclined to bring pressure and this one in the way that he might have the last couple of weeks he was back to three tight ends third to the throw out of three tight ends completed to Hertz set girts with a lot of space inside the 35 yard line first downs in Philadelphia and a gain of 18 this one just took a little bit of time and the key obviously you got to get Olivier Verne and blocked on the outside and Jason Peters just continues to get it done on that side and then on the other side Lane Johnson who is quietly gone about his business since that opening drive and you can see how comfortable Carson Wentz looks back there in the pocket now that he's got these two great tackles playing out there [Applause] thirty-four flag thrown fault start on Philadelphia Paul start offense there were 71 five-yard penalty first down it's the first penalty against the Eagles and that's the tenth false start on Jason Peters this season now for duck Peterson now he's got to see what I'm seeing out there that we're starting to get more and more maybe not now that it's first down in 15 but Landon Collins is that swing guy he's the guy is he back in coverage is the up around the line of scrimmage he has been getting closer and closer and planned that run now back because of the penalty [Applause] the three arts for Scrolls on that carry Olivia fronted the technical a little different when a tight ends having to block Olivier Vernon here that time Excel like really no chance that guy is he's lightning quick but what I like about Libya Vernon the most is when he gets off Bach blocks he makes place you see him with some really great short area quickness to make plays where it looks like he's blocked and out of it and he's out their own time he's played 94% of the stab A's yeah more than any deal I'm in terms of who sent them when second of 13 [Music] Dominika rogers Cromartie got a bear in a battle of three named guys forget I'm gonna tell you something Carson Wentz thinks he can throw a ball into any where is he he was late getting this ball out of here and that was one of those that every once in a while it goes for six points the other way but he loads up with that fastball and he just doesn't think anybody's going to get there before the football does [Music] now the protection has been good so far so if you can get some of those deep crossing routes in here you start a shot for this first down I certainly want to get a feel boy suppressors ontology can't get through there looking to the screen to get rid of it the pressure was out of the way that my turnin will be 15 yards thief winces okay as he's slow to get up really feels incomplete pass that whistle foul roughing the passer of defense [Applause] which is hurt leave they're looking at on the athletic training staff on this field there I think what they're going to call is that they sort of drove him into the ground and you can see that helmet banging off the turf and I could tell you some of the times I was knocked Alou pious was that not getting hit helmet the helmet when your head and your arms are pinned and your head snaps down to the ground and they're taking a good long look here which is going to test the concussion protocol system in ways that no other position can and we have not seen change Daniel here from Philadelphia and here he comes the backup quarterback he had been with Doug Peters in in Kansas City for the past three years started his career in New Orleans as an apprentice to Drew Brees as part of the Saints roster that won the 2009 Super Bowl Daniel very decorated career at Missouri passed over really when they traded Sam Bradford he's the number to remain there as whets became the starter but now he is in on the first down Matthews is taken down for the loss of two as they looked at whence and Chris one thing with the awareness it's the referees the officials the guys upstairs with Jason Peters was right there he saw it when she was a little shaky and he walked him right over to the athletic training snap player awareness of taking care of their fellow man has increased as well with this crushing awareness around the NFL big penalty both ways and you look at it now that hits going to knock the star quarterback out Daniel is shoveling it forward complete diffuse inside the 15 to the nine year first down pickup of sixteen is chased Daniel makes the play with Jonathan Hankins right through and the mobility of Chase Daniel's really makes the difference on this one just barely escapes and make the flip I don't know Mike if you saw it or not but when Daniel walked in the huddle he gave a little smile and a little wink to those guys in the huddle like hey man come on no I got this [Applause] the nine left Bert's held his block Rowan Matthews stays alive to the one Zach Ertz helping his man down with a gain of eight wets headed off to the locker room to be further assess end up with an extra offensive lineman here on the outside and then Jason Peters just gonna clean it up you know the one thing about Ryan Matthews that people don't really he's a big guy and when you try to bring him down to the ground I remember Eric Weddle in the game when they played saying hey don't expect it this guy to go down easily he's a load and showed it there Sam followed the offensive line of the edge to up there Collins talked about physical players who bring it he stops Matthews for loss of two now when Wisniewski pulls Landon Collins is going to take his place here and come in and make the play Landon Collins been doing this all season he's a really fun guy to watch play the game of football not just the way he plays on the back end of course the five interceptions he has three sacks but he makes plays in the running game like that all the time he's part of the reason of his giant team has been the toughest to score on inside the 20 chased Andy who hasn't played at all this year only a couple games last year in Kansas City first appearance is legal he hands it to Mackey sleds it inside this is close to be short ruling on the field from the head linesman you go cruz is that he is just short Doug Peterson has shown a penchant to gopher it up or down and it looks like he will again here certainly want to take a look here let's see when the knee or elbow or whatever goes down right there nice call by the officials we're getting whistled like somebody in the Giants huddle is hurt yeah that's demon Harrison that's the absolute last guy you want hurt that may change the decision here for Doug Peterson even if he wasn't thinking about going for it he might here fourth and goal coming up they look at Harrison Harrison helped to the Giants sideline Chris what does Doug Peterson think about play clubs going to go for it on fourth down I don't think you want to go over Kelsey I think you want to go to Jason Peters side beau Allen is a fullback news did not get there he is stopped great surge by the Giants Gary Wynn gets the ultimate stop of the surge off the right side he's fabulous defense sets it up and the Giants slammed the door [Music] Sears tradition hockey honor 100 years of the NHL the Centennial classic the redwoods and maple leaves in Toronto outdoors and then January 2nd the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic the Blackhawks and the moves outside st. Louis outdoors on NBC giant stopped the fourth down from the one they take over at their own two yard line [Applause] [Music] this is Paul Perkins riding it to the outside eventually hit him honor Barwon digged up there let's go back to the fourth down foot you know the guys that you don't expect to make the plays are the ones that come around the edge nice job inside Robert Thomas Jonathan Hankins squeeze it up but they're able to catch it off the edge because it just took a little too long to get there for that jump to happen this Giants defense though has been doing that all season long when they needed it most Barre went out Marcus Smith in Perkins runs up the middle Michael tensions flexes cops make the tackle 3rd and 2 if the Giants gonna play it before at the end of the third quarter here's Heather Cox couple more updates for you Mike Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is in the locker room and is in concussion protocol and by the way he does have a history with one concussion in college and for the Giants tackle David Harrison is having his right knee looked at his return is questionable and something to remember guys he hasn't missed a game since his rookie year so seasons in every game so far this season he's been in for the Jets there get this play off before the end of the frame and we will go to the fourth quarter women in the playoffs of the Giants have been down all night they're down five after three on Thursday Night Football tonight's aerial coverage is provided by Geico fourth quarter at Lincoln Financial Field in its 14th season beautiful home of the Eagles here in South Philly Mike Tirico and Fran Michaels with Cris Collinsworth and Heather Cox here we go big play the start his fourth quarter third and two for the Giants Brenton [Applause] they'll be inside give to Perkins and the rookie takes it to the nineteen nine yard run at a first down for the Giants it's a great call by Eli Manning I don't think he could believe they sat there with two deep safeties on third to in this kind of a moment in the game safeties back there Eli is going to check out of it because he knows they don't have enough guys in there to stop that run nice job by John Jerry coming around but that was just outmatched in a run game [Applause] anything there have been back 15 calls of the plays to Eli Manning you might remember there was the story regarding the use of a walkie talkie for five plays two weeks ago against Dallas the team was five 150,000 dollars back in his 50,000 and the Giants fourth round pick in the upcoming draft was moved to the end of the round moving a maximum of 12 spots down because you can't use the walkie-talkie that communication system cuts off at 15 seconds on the play clock but what Potocki system does not when there's a malfunction they were scrambling went to the walkie-talkie that's a no-no and the giant you gonna pick forth with the chemist and he gets the first down after 23 yard line and it's a bit McAdoo's credit he owned it and let's say this I know it's a heavy fine but in that situation they had tried to get it to some sort of a messenger system right but you can imagine Ben McAdoo and Eli Manning probably communicated such a high level trying to give it to some guard or somebody the messenger [Applause] to talk to pay the price but they went again they've got 35 here there's deep safeties and manning will throw complete to the first downs in jerel Adams the rookie tight end has it at the 32 yard line and with Giants moved the chains here on their second drive this second half where I tell you talk about the Odell Beckham effect the fact that that guy is on the field the unwillingness really for Jim Schwartz on this half of the field to take a chance take those two safeties out of the middle he's just not going to do it he's not going to give him that one big play down the field he's gonna make him march the distance [Applause] the 32 there's the slanted Beckham that he could take a long way but was wrapped up that time by Nolan Carol for 30 cents he gave of four yards meantime Carson Wentz is officially out of the concussion protocol going back to get that second look for the unaffiliated neurological consultants and the Eagles team dunkers comes back to see him they're bucking his Zach Ertz and Darren Sproles looks like Wentz will try to return the next time Philadelphia gets the ball second in five bags first look wasn't there in beau Allen who has been the presence tonight was right Eli's faces he trying to get the chin down and bring some 35 Oh Allen got there so fast he just runs at the screen pass which is all that was coming right up you can see that just a few there's a Michonne and then lets him go but it was the coverage on the outside the recognition that allowed and forced Eli to just throw that one away and one and a half the sack last week he showed up on some significant plays here he's back out on the field for third and five he was winning for Manning throwing accepted that is to for Malcolm Jenkins tonight pick six in the first quarter now three interceptions on the season two against the rival giant city line tonight Thursday Night Football is brought to you by the 2017 Kia Sorento learn more at Kia Tom by Geico 15 minutes could save you 15% on car insurance and by Walmart bought gifts groceries and more this season Longwood Gardens 30 miles west of Center City just one places for the holiday season in full bloom carson wentz back in at quarterback for philadelphia first down chased by Bernie got away from it we'll just get rid of it out of the tackle box in the ball around the line of scrimmage to avoid intentional grounding let's go back to the interception here now watch what Malcolm Jenkins does he drifts this way to tell Eli Manning it may just be a single height and then drives hard on that most cover two safeties are not that far inside I really think Jenkins the veteran who studies so much film just baited him a little bit and that's the second time look at Jim Schwartz had a babies he got him earlier in the game for the Pick six and got him with a huge one there she works his patience paid off the 40 for the second and Darren Sproles got elation once at elements pros go so many arts and skirts during his career he got a good luck to get free and scrolls goes to the 43 yard line for the first down and look who's leading the way for him once again Lane Johnson right upfront right there is going to take win right back and any time Darren Sproles can get a little bit of space he turns into a punt returner and didn't you have a problem he can't see if you can see just how low to the ground he is @l legit five foot six 17,000 plus yards who scrimmaged over his career we've got all these great kick return yards as well takes off and will slide for the first time lost the ball on the slide this is going to be interesting really close when the knee goes down this slide will be dead and Carl Johnson who was the head of officiating that's a good call and he was down and I think that is the right call boy was that close we have seen Eli Manning remember that in the past where he went head frozen and the ball came out a different story when you're giving yourself up that knee is down doesn't matter what happens after that great call by the officials now we got a challenge flag thrown by the Giants and I would think that's gonna be a lost challenge again Carl Johnson came back on the field as it official as a line judge was the job that Dean Blandino has Mike Pereira before that the vice-president of officiating that we play Quinn's coming over when you rule down you can't challenge that play it's an easy call once that knee hits down and once he started to slide he is clearly down now it's just a matter of whether or not you're even allowed to challenge that call well what a play by Wentz this is a couple of scrambles and escapes that he's made that was after he just was back five minutes ago that's the protocol well and that that 10 to 15 yards whatever that was now puts them in field goal range when you start looking at the scoreboard what a significant number that three could be there's no challenge on the play quarterback sled fever he's down the time he gives himself up at that spot it's a first down by the yards game watch you Deanie on this one yeah not bad I mean I he was being attacked from three different areas and closing in quickly and somehow he got out of it that's the difference with this guy I know there's a lot of young quarterbacks and dak Prescott his mobility Jared golf we saw him but that kind of a play out of Carson Wentz bodes well for Eagles fans this is six-five guy getting down a Sproles level they're their computers the risk grows and a real-deal play by cody sensabaugh made the initial contact in the backfield to make it a loss of three again what's at stake here tonight Giants win and in the playoffs they've missed the last four years they don't win they can win next week and get in or have some other things happen over this weekend to back their way in for the Eagles if they win it helps Dallas because Dallas clinches the NFC East and the road to the Houston Super Bowl will go through Dallas on the NFC side at the play field goal first that loss of yardage there put him on the fringe [Applause] thanks to Matthews swing attack Wentz out there with a block the lure stays inbounds long enough to gain five yards to the 30 I don't think they're playing for the field goal and you're right on the borderline of vehicle territory and here comes Carson Wentz concussion and all-out leading away which I'm sure Doug Peterson is probably thrilled about but that's what we've seen out of that young man the bad news of the Giants Chris Eli Apple is hurt they start the night without their best corner jinora's jenkins whence was blocking an apple was the one who got hit by Wentz and they're looking at his leg Damon Harrison hurt earlier two Giants defense taking a hit tonight NFL Thursday Night Football is presented by Bud Light beer with your team on it Eli Apple walked off with the Giants training staff also Jason Peters injured on that play as it's a hollow game third round rookie a bargain state in at left tackle it's third and eight and Webster's and completely deshyla first down take the bleep I'm always juggling so it'll be fourth down from here feel only 48 yards and we're gonna try it with Sturgis I think that knee hits down there secure catches the ball I guess I didn't see the juggle let's see it one more time and against this chest knee down that's left elbow left elbow is on the white - well time to look at I like it look at the bake team going here your challenge he was shy of the first down Philadelphia is challenging the ruling on the field of an incomplete pass because even if you're just adding to the field goal it's significant here the judgement is ahead [Music] after review to play the receiver control the ball and that has left me down in bounds therefore is it a few cats [Applause] yards short of the line fourth down from that spot Philadelphia will not be charging the time out they don't get the first down but they win the challenge to get the extra yards Collins where if you win whatever we wagered on that so good one they're big but as you said going to break it makes the field goal seven yards closer poor Caleb Sturgis had a streak of 18 straight during the course of this season well within his range 41 yards operation good and the kick is right down Broad Street the Eagles lead by eight twenty four to sixteen the Philadelphia we know the reputation over the year the city of Philadelphia fans and they're not the easiest to please but they are passionate loyal they're loving this guy Carson Wentz but and we go throwback Thursday let's go back to Davidson that reputation was cemented December 16th of 1968 Santa Claus and half nine comes out greeted with booze they Pelt them with snowballs as they said they inquire in the worst Philadelphia tradition and that gets referred to all the time oh it's Philly they bleed Santa Claus they threw snowballs at Santa Claus now we're gonna get pelted for doing that story again people are pulled up in sick of the house but you know that is you know what the halftime entertainment was tonight no Santa Claus they just had a bunch of mascots out there all the Philly sports teams their mascots were out there the Bears mascot was out no snowballs are throwing but there's also no snow so it's been hard to throw a stone one thing about this city look Chris carson wentz got off to the three-and-oh start and they love it they love it they're on board with that guy and i think that makes a huge difference in how he's allowed to progress and grow with this team you know if it plays like he made last week those last couple of drives to take him down the field he's shown a lot of light he's shown it again tonight dwayne Harris pergolas five yard line special teams tackle Rodney McCloud Chris good night for Malcolm Jenkins Starr the game so far Malcolm Jenkins I think disguises coverage well here sank back underneath the tight end after letting the receiver go across the field Nick six on that one and then I thought he just healed with Eli a little bit you can see Eli was looking right at him and as he saw him drift to the inside generally that means against that cover to man you can work it in down to the boundary but Jenkins just too quick and Chuck got a jump on all right James here you go down eight 8:42 trying to get in the playoffs will the win will be a sterling Shepherd run will tie in Victor Cruz are out there to block but nobody could make a difference Jalen Mills the tackle middle game yeah and what's it been four straight years they haven't made the playoffs and Eli got up in front of the team this week and said guys do not take this opportunity for granted you have a chance to clinch a playoff spot don't think you're going to get this opportunity again they went to the Super Bowl and then set out four years before they get this kind of opportunity [Applause] second an eight it's Beckham on the run first arrow down across the 40 midfield look now the speed putting on the moves back up stays on the run gets himself up at the 40-yard line and it'll be whistled down their big game by Beckham this guy's the most exciting kind again there is the inside receiver going to go across the field and now we know the answer to the trivia question who's the only guy can tackle Odell Beckham Odell Beckham you gotta shoot next three have that one over on our tips for the night [Applause] before team added to the top five on the tackle it was interesting Kristen was yesterday Eli got up in front of the offense and made that passionate speech and we talked to him yesterday and it was the most passion I've heard from Eli Manning in a long time because most of the guys around here haven't been to the playoffs they weren't part of those Giants teams of those 7 and 11 tough to get into a game where you're playing for a playoff spot don't take it lightly [Applause] lost the ball it could play bass [Music] [Applause] 2007-2011 with everybody New York saw the defense play the way they did against galas on Sunday night play the way they did against the Lions hey maybe this fee equation more chance I think this is four down territory here where you think my 655 yard line certainly would be from silly he's gone for it on 4th about 16 times [Applause] whereas it completes for Victor Cruz notice McElveen the coverage and they'll go for it on fourth down Otis McElveen great job and missus not Odell Beckham and you can see Cruz not nearly as explosive and so McElveen willing to sit and jump that one and here they go at least going to give you the hard count here on this fourth down 4.9 outside we can afford Chapas worth a go at the bottom of the screen by who else Beckham keeps the drive alive with six and a half left in regulation and there's a difference Odell Beckham same guy in defense watch him drive them off and then the quick break just enough to get McElveen off of them and the for Malcolm Jenkins can get there and that's just a gutsy tough catch from the 25 Matic torques Beckham in the end charles run-up to the one hand and pull it down [Applause] only way he doesn't make that catches as if he doesn't put a hand on it you know Eli is thinking boy I could have just given him that chance but there was Malcolm Jenkins again and Eli has to have a little bit of number 27 in his brain right now because he's been fooled a couple of times they can stop to adjust the uniform make sure much of a call he's going to be a part of here try the other side he's completely forgot mothers are Victor Cruz 6:17 to go in regulation yeah and that was interesting by staying no huddle there they didn't give their star player you could see Hodel backup coming off the ball he was tired [Music] flame would have been almost better off to just go back to the huddle and give him a chance to just freshen up a little bit he needed it well I tell you it has been by Jim sward so far this is have a couple more in [Applause] cruise knowing Carol fourth and three I think you go again whole unit on here interesting with six minutes left well they couldn't have kicked the field goal before and you know I guess the fact that the score would end up with an eight you want to take away having to make the two-point conversion to tie so you take it here but you just have to hope now you get the ball back you have account of the defense which is been good they've got another time out plus the two-minute warning so plenty of time only get a whistle and a flag down with a snap imminent it is fourth down and short what's the call here is it too many guys on the field for Philly let's see snap was imminent All Star Jones will push the field goals drive back a little bit right there is [Applause] you know you can move as long as you don't jump across the line of scrimmage and the official there declaring that that jump did not cross the line of scrimmage in seven games with the job those available in his eighth game he's tried for field goes with a dice and made them all we're sitting on a five-point game with 5 and 17 to go in Philadelphia the joy and spirit of the holiday season will then take a turn as it's Ravens and Steelers with a lot on the line in the AFC North NFL Network coverage begins - Eastern 4:30 Eastern Time love the kick of youth including Tony Dungy Heather Cox and I head over to Pittsburgh tomorrow Steelers win they win the AFC North Ravens who need to win their last two but that has been a great rivalry over the years another chapter written on Christmas late afternoon teach the Broncos on Sunday Night Football now Chris it Michelle Eagles were given 25 with 517 to go Odell Beckham jr. nice wishlist right for Christmas all the ones one stop please few defensive guys take care of me give me one more shot with it meanwhile dak Prescott in Ezekiel Elliott are doing the same thing please just just one drive here Philadelphia just one drive let's clinch this thing tonight we had a lot of players who went out on that last Drive Jason Peters the left hand is back in for Philadelphia the Giants Damon Harrison went out earlier their big defensive lineman up inside he is back in there for New York and although in there is the extra tight end six offensive linemen strive starting from the 25 Scrolls good play by Olivier Vernon along with Harrison and Collins to make a stop it'll be second and long as we dive under five minutes give a fourth and that's Olivier Vernon at his best right there is that stretch play came out he's almost like a running back finding a way to slip through the hole and come back in there and make the play now you bring up the pass rush situation you also bring up the possibility for Spagnola whether or not he was willing to blitz without some of his corners in there I don't know Eli Apple back in there but this is an interesting call here this is where Spagnola loves to bring pressure which with an extra long look and word to Jordan back he's running out of the slot he's looking that way we'll be outside the 30 yard line third and six coming up in Matthews going out of bounds there's the clock stopped at 4:29 yeah and for Doug Peterson he was thinking pressure on that one as well they used the quarterback getting him out of the pocket so you only have to protect one side of the line of scrimmage now third and six a little bit more of that middle ground I think if jus Norris Jenkins in there they probably blitz and play man I'm not so sure though right now [Applause] [Music] no you sensabaugh the guy that's going to have the man coverage out here against Nelson Aguilar son Jenkins we're in that stocking pack number 20 the best Giants corner 60 bees the pressure comes sense upon its wetsuit throws in complaint there the pressure came it didn't get there but it forced it out quick and Odell got his wish let's he pick them goes back to this punch with 424 to go yeah they gonna end up bringing pressure and then dropping out the other way and they were gonna try and set him up as an underneath drowned you saw Trey Burton over there and they tried to bait the rookie into making that throw on the outside he did not and probably saved himself an interception Beckham is one of two twin safeties backs of his Donny Jones punter it's a way of good hang time bento Harris Harris kept it at the 27 yard line and it will stop right there did you see our Duncan just gonna let you think I'm gonna catch it but was going the other side [Applause] a month ago they battled all night long and five quarters was barely enough they need again the Broncos and Chiefs it's our gift to you on Christmas night we'll be a great one Sunday night so much on the line for Denver the chance trying to stay alive here the Giants trying to get the playoff start this Drive 27 and Paul Perkins keeps going he's very close to a first down as Jordan Hicks hobbles to the sideline the Philadelphia linebackers hurt great play there by Eli Manning just getting this ball out you're gonna see Brandon Graham go right through Bobby Hart basically throw them into Eli and Eli just hung in there steven zelich replacing the injured hitch the run up the middle for Perkins sit here in crunch time it's the first down to the 43 yard line so hex is out he's played so much this years Steven Tullock who started in every game for the Lions in five of the last six seasons but has been an insurance policy only played 53 snaps all season comes in on this Drive stay three we go I should say it's not a random things the jackal would reach temp to go at a a big difference now with Jordan Hicks out the coverage linebacker and Stephen tulleken who has been with Jim Schwartz and Tennessee and Detroit but not nearly the coverage guy that Jordan Hicks is sent me one day stop for a minute 3 accelerates and gets the first down to the 40 yard line bunch of cops and an arm on him could pull it down where they have just missed off that defensive left side Brandon Graham almost got Eli and Fletcher Cox almost got merkins on that one have to go jumping to the sidelines the 35-yard line [Applause] [Music] saw the numbers go by earlier the Giants six games over 500 in these one possession eight pointer less games Eagles had to one one all year oh and six the margin is so small some years you got the right group the right mix and you do it in crunch time it's a buncha DOMA could that be playing out again here tonight this team's been as good as any in the fourth quarter both offensively and defensive Luis comes in he's bought of the screen Bowling Green Nilay throwing it up top Ward Lewis [Applause] McElveen and up in the air Leodis McKelvin tucked it away it's one of those plays I think Eli would like to have back again because when you get this quarters coverage there is no safety in the middle of the field and yet he bent him back towards the boundary instead of just giving her a chance but there was too much pressure from Benny curry and just nice game third in school for territory Crossing Beckham trying to break the plane with the ball where's it gonna be marked interesting spot here from the headlines but Hugo Cruz he's barking it at the 31 that's a first down to the Giants backed up holding the ball out got in the progress to get the first down and that clock should have stopped at two minutes and it's just clock operator error they'll go back and get it so here we go Beckham gets up to the 31 two minutes left the judge score a touchdown they could be in the playoffs which is inside of two minutes but foreplay happens on the other side of the two-minute warning you can challenge it Doug Peterson's gonna challenge the spot here as Odell Beckham catches it he has to get to the 31 right to the white on the 31 yard line and you can see as he was trying to reach out he was nowhere near it is his forward progress here sufficient to say he broke the 31 yard line plane had to look right down it is being challenged looked at here at Bank of NFL headquarters in New York after reviewing the play runners forward progress was short on the line to game Philadelphia will not be charged with the timeout sometimes you're not able to move a spot that was a definitive look right down the 31-yard line with the camera so New York got the look they can make that decision its fourth and one and obviously the Giants would go for it if they don't pick it up they could still get the ball back with a minute 24 left if they stop being I'm gonna take a guess here I'm gonna think if you're running the ball here you're gonna run it toward Vinnie curry side number 75 behind Eric flowers the big guy I don't think you want to go the other way with Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham many very much more of the pass rusher I went to the lines if they snap too quick J two sides penalize team in the league at the worst time start Wow well you know he's going hard count all the way right I mean you're gonna try and get it for free without having to run to play in Eli only got his own guy but now you bring Odell back them back into the game and when you're in this situation that may not be a bad thing tremendous challenge by the Petersons erases the first down gets into fourth and one terrible mistake by the Giants now fourth and six of the 37 five in the pattern manning looking thrilling and it is a complete sterling Shepard they wouldn't come up with it giant sideline furious that there's no call on Nolan Carroll the Eagles will take over with a minute 54 left first of all the game's not over but what a play out here by Nolan Carroll ball is right there and he just had the presence of mind a little tugging a little pulling everybody's going to see it but on fourth down everybody in the world knows exactly what's going to happen tough to make that call right there and here's the as you see the safety Rodney McCloud coming their number-one threat and they couldn't make a play on the outside great play by Carol just hooked his arms Shepard couldn't get that other arm out there as you said the game's not over if managed properly and the Giants stopped the Eagles on these three downs New York could still have a minute 25 or so without timeouts to try to get down the field but the Eagles can make it tough on them strange the world Giants 150 to go here we go top your screen one more time let's take a look how much is allowed how much is holding how much is hooking how much is pushing there was a little little push off by Scheffer but there was a big right arm Carol look at that right arm hook hook I'm just telling you on fourth down game's on the line it's like Hail Marys he'll call Bear if I'm calling Nouwen that's interference but but face they're human beings out there in those striped uniforms as well there was plenty going on on that play and more often than not Hail Marys and those big moment plays you can stretch the letter of the law just a little bit more and they did [Applause] seconded eight Scrolls right college major eight of the yarder so 142 remaining Giants use their second timeout [Applause] long way from over but duck Peterson has to be proud of the way his guys came out here on a short week really with nothing to play for the Giants had everything to play for and this is it's an amazingly optimistic group isn't it for a team that's had a rough year they feel sympathy last eight but you didn't get that sense for one second being rough and and what's happened to him is they've lost all the close games they've lost all the once core games the Giants have won all those games probably the difference between a veteran quarterback and a young quarterback but here they are on the brink now with a tremendous performance by their defense of not allowing this celebration of the Giants for clenching to happen here [Applause] get all the way down trying to get the freebie with the hard count tape at the 5-yard penalty so it will be time out philadelphia and we remind you that the volkswagen postgame report is coming up after the game heather will interview the start of the game wrap up this opener to week 16 the NFL season closer for Thursday Night Football with a good one here in Philadelphia five-point game today there are a lot of teams around the league interested in this one if you're the Dallas Cowboys are one of their fans you're wildly interested in the outcome of this one but there are many more teams than that change the equation for gamma Sunday night wait to drink adept like once he locked up with Eagles can get these five yards [Applause] they dare throw it they will once taking a shot downfield toward Matthews and it is broken up there is a Christmas gift to the Giants they don't run it they give Eli on a timeout in addition to about a minute and a half remaining so they got aggressive and the Giants gonna have a chance to make it pay for they went after Trevon Wade now he's the guy obvious the next guy in but there he is and you can tell that math using he's had that bad ankle he really has not been full speed you see him a little bit of the hold off there but then you called it right that's a gift and I'm not sure I'm kicking it to that guy back up his back he's had to called back this year returns for touchdowns notice it's a knuckle Etsuko made by beckham at the 15-yard line it's all credit to trepan wait he did with Carol did his lock arms and now the Giants trying to make up for the missed cues and they've made tonight second drive Manning threw a pick six and out to the Jenkins dental 14 nothing that one just under strong for Shepherd when pull the slide Apple the hit they scored a touchdown the next play fifteen yards of that penalty on Vernon Jakob's lurkin makes the pick of envy for fat inches by John Jerry the when two four and six he couldn't convert nevertheless 85 yards one time out of 91 seconds two-time Super Bowl champ the hell wilt I gained a 5 out of balance that's a rare moment I might come right back to that play because it looked like there was room in there to sneak that one in to Odell Beckham he took the check down nothing wrong with that but if they're gonna stay in that cover 2 and give Beckham that kind of room on the outside I'm coming back to it next girl formatting will be his 55th on the night and its completion to Victor Cruz 28 yard line first down was the important one when you get one of these clock drives going but tom is tumbling down minute 11 left again Bobby Rainey back field good move by Rainey to the 40 yard line marker to the 41 and here's what he lie is doing he's not letting them substitute the pass rushers in the game these guys are already worn down I'm 57 pass attempt formatting who's coming here and it's a throne of the silent shepherd just gets out of bounds gotta subs that's a good thing but a bad thing because by going out of bounds now they get the fresh pass rushers back on the field you can see how shot those guys were coming off and 57 past attempts will do that to you staying too deep for the safeties not giving up the big pass [Applause] 50 seconds to go third and four coming up you know I know I'm a sucker for this movie but every time they play the rocket they in the case situation I love it there I still get amped up a little bit so does this city they love it and they would love to see one of the positives of the Eagles season beat keeping the Giants and clinching a playoff [Music] [Applause] is complete Lord Shepard clock will run with 40 seconds left [Applause] good news for the Eagles Jordan picks back in at that coverage linebacker position and sickness to get this going 31 seconds left sideline throw is complete to cruise to the 33 but a few suicides out here [Applause] back-to-back plays too much time wasted now you use that final timeout but you need to get everybody here because now you're in a position where you can take some shots closer to the end zone well I've been in a couple of games like this where it comes down and you've been in the two-minute offense and you've been playing catch-up and there's a widened receiver or is the defensive back or as a pass rusher you're just shot you're just exhausted out there and sometimes a guy comes in with a little bit of fresh legs a receiver that hasn't been playing that much can just look lightening quick out on the field and again Chris this off the short week Eagles game came down to the wire last week against Baltimore on Sunday and this will be the 86th play the Giants run this feels like the his defense last year that basically plays in the hurry up Chip Kelly system 24 seconds ago top 50 in trouble can't take a sack and the throne is ruling complete and no sack and that's a huge break for the Giants Brandon Graham one more time working against Bobby Hart and watch his knees down here last chief X in love you this upstairs ball sound it's amazing how close Brandon Graham comes to have probably having 15 sacks during the season he lie about the first 60 seconds of this game [Applause] Taizo Giants record with this patch attack and take a shot downfield towards backup 14 seconds left third down coming up this was a great play call here they are gonna they've been running these corners all night they fake it and then run back to the pose and a perfect throw would have had a chance on that one you certainly would have Odell Beckham with a chance for a jump ball and just this time same deal Chris beckons just coming back to the last guru deal is going to make sure it goes with all hand signal if he like hid jebecca has got to be in on this play get don't timeouts fifteen seconds left batting just put it up for grabs towards will tie it's intercepted Terrence Brooks and Eagles will not let the Giants clinch a playoff berth on their field I'll tell you why that throw wasn't good enough anyway because they wouldn't have time to run another play had he caught it he would have caught it in the field of play some pressure got to Eli but it has been a patient secondary all night long and they got it done when it mattered most an Eli Manning throws his third interception all incoming on third down Vinnie Curry's pressure would let him step all the way into it get it downfield the Giants can get losses by Detroit Green Bay temple or Atlanta in that group to still get themselves into the playoffs before their game against Washington next week there's no party for the Giants tonight there's a big party going on in Dallas right now that's right sues carson wentz takes a knee the number one seed and the NFC East champions are the Dallas Cowboys Wow the Eagles have won a close game a one possession game for the first time this year they snap a five-game slide Manning with a Giants record 63 attempts from Stillson those in a losing cause Philadelphia gets the win 24 to 19 pushkin come come up
