Seahawks@Jaguars. The Hawks are banged up. Titans@Raiders. If the Raiders lose this one, they may not recover.

Eagles@Giants
The Eagles seemed flat in this game, even when the Giants pass rush seemed lethargic for long stretches as well. Turnovers hurt. Dart looked good in this game, as did the 6’4″ WR that the Giants just move up from the practice squad. The Eagles 2nd CB, Ringo, seemed like a vulnerability.
The Eagle offense looked okay, but their defense was porous. The Eagle defense didn’t look all that great against the Cowboys either. In both games their best player, Carter, wasn’t playing. Yes, he’s good and he will make others around him better, but man that defense needs to step up.
As I spoke about the Giant’s defense before, they love to keep their very good front seven in the box and play man everywhere else. The commentators in the last night’s game said the Giants play more man than any other team in the NFL. This is probably why Hurts was able to pick them apart at times. But that is also why Barkley had a lot of runs for no yards. Also, those Eagle running plays have too much going on sometimes. It’s almost gadget like with a lot of misdirection and delays. I posted this last year that I didn’t like Kellen Moore’s offense in Dallas, but thought he was great with the Eagles. He would pound the rock at times. This Eagle offense misses him it seems.
Yes, the Eagles got away from running the ball, but man their running plays were all or nothing. Either a big hole would develop or stopped at the line of scrimmage. The Eagles, particularly Hurts, struggle in third and long. That and the score, and I can see why they stop running on early downs. That being said, the Eagles don’t have the two turnovers in the second half and they probably win the game, because the Giants are, well, the Giants.

Ah, I was going to say, when you mentioned the Eagles defense, that the pass rush didn’t look so good. I wondered if they had injuries. They looked a really good against the Bucs, especially guys like Mitchell, Baun, and Dejean. They were making plays (especially in the first half).
The commentators in the last night’s game said the Giants play more man than any other team in the NFL.
There were times when Hurts had all day, though, and even in these situations, he wasn’t really shredding the Giants–at least not what I remember. I would think if you give a QB a lot of time and the defense is playing man, somebody is going to get open. (The Giants were only rushing 4, though.)

They ran it too infrequently for me to conclude this. Maybe if they’re more patient with the run game, they start getting into a rhythm.
