There were a lot of doubts and unrest (at least outside the svtadium) around the Eagles going into their game against the Giants in the media and among supporters.In an attempt to stop the rumbling, the defense came up with a quick three and out. Britain Covey, however, answered with a huge punt return of 54 yards, setting up the Eagles offense on their own 13-yard line for a simple two-run touchdown layup.
The Giants offense was unable to score any more scores because the defense gave up a long field goal, ending any chance of a chilly freeze out.
Then it appeared as though the wheels would come off. Olamide Zaccheaus hit Boston Scott hard on the kickoff to begin the half, forcing the Giant killer to fumble the ball away.

Maddox’s injury was first thought to be one that would finish the season. Before the injury, he was the Birds’ starting nickel cornerback; he will likely rotate with Josh Jobe, Kelee Ringo, and Bradley Roby.
It will take a roster move by the team before Maddox can officially return.
Dickerson, who missed the New York Giants victory in Week 16 due to thumb surgery, will be making a comeback.
