Factoid
You’ve got to figure that when the Giants and Eagles play on Sunday, it will be a low-scoring game.
Both defenses rank in the top 5 in terms of both points and yards. They’re both NFC East teams, so they’re familiar with each other’s scheme and personnel. And in four of the last five meetings between these teams, neither offense scored more than two touchdowns.
Below, see the stats for Eli Manning and Donovan McNabb in those games.
Eli Manning in his last five games against Philadelphia has averaged only 166 passing yards and completed only 54 percent of his passes; 7 TDs and 3 interceptions in those five games.
Donovan McNabb in those same games has has averaged only 176 passing yards and completed only 56 percent of his passes, with a 5-1 ratio of TDs to interceptions.
Certainly looks like it’s going to be a low-scoring game.
