#BlackSunday was the hashtag for Sundays match against long time rival New York Giants. The game opened up with offense looking good but could not get a TD on the first drive so we settled for 3 points. Defense wasn't playing any games coming out strong attacking the Giants forcing a punt. As I've been saying Shady will have a break out game and today was the day. Breaking for runs and finding lanes made our offense move smoothly and Foles found Ertz for the TD. Game goes on there are consistent defensive stops by the Eagles, the defensive was in a zone! Later in the 2nd quarter Foles finds Casey for the 26 yard TD that bumps the score up to 17-0 but we would get a field goal before half time. In the 3rd quarter Giants receiver Victor Cruz suffered a torn patella tendon, he may be the opponent but you never want to see a player get hurt like that. Back on offense Shady breaks for his biggest gain of the night 28 yards down the field racking up a total of 149 yards on the night!(Breakout game) A quick hand slap from Shady to Sproles and Sproles gets the ball and runs in for a TD. That would be the last TD for the entire game as our defense shut the Giants out!
*Side Notes*
Bad news! Darren Sproles got injured late in the third quarter. Rumors are that it might be and ACL or MCL related injury but hopefully thats not the case. Darren said after the game "He will be alright" We do have a bye week so thats a plus for him and other injured players to get rest and treatment. Defense was absolutely amazing shutting out the Giants and racking up 8 sacks! Next week is a bye week so players can rest a little and we play the Arizona Cardinals the following week.
