Standouts
K Jake Elliott
They don't call him "Jake the Make" for nothing. Elliott drilled kicks of 51 and 53 yards in the first half to give the Eagles a 6-3 lead at the break. Elliott added 45- and 23-yarders in the second half to extend Philadelphia's lead.
CB Parry Nickerson
Nickerson had the Eagles' first turnover, jumping a pass for an interception in New York territory and securing the pick on his way to the ground. Nickerson also had a tackle near the line of scrimmage and tight coverage on a third down.
S Lewis Cine
Cine had a beautiful diving interception at the end of the third quarter for Philadelphia's third forced turnover. The pick set up Jake Elliott's fourth field goal of the game.
Up Next
The Eagles will cut down their roster to 53 players by 4:00 PM on Tuesday. From there, it's a little more than a week away from the NFL season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, September 4.
