After yet another ugly defeat, this time at home against the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Eagles have now lost seven consecutive games. They probably won’t win the Super Bowl this season. As always, whether you win or lose, we’re giving away 10 rewards.

1) The ‘Hail Mary’ award 🙏: Nick Sirianni and Joe Milton

As the Eagles’ offense creaked over the past three games with Tanner McKee under center, Nick Sirianni turned to Joe Milton, whom the team signed off the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad 23 days ago.

Milton is a huge quarterback at 6’5, 246 pounds, with a cannon arm and ability as a runner. Could he spark a lifeless Eagles offense?

Narrator: “He couldn’t. »

Milton finished 18 of 34 for 169 yards, 0 TD and 0 INT. He ran 9 times for 64 yards, but lost a fumble and was sacked 7 times.

Ironically, with the game hanging at 8 with the ball at their own 44 yard line and 6 seconds left, the Eagles had a chance to throw one last Hail Mary. It might have been fun to see Milton show off his cannon arm, but he got sacked, and that was the ball game.

2) The ‘Same Old, Same Old’ award 🔁: the Eagles offense

The Eagles only had 220 total offensive yards. 13 first downs. A paltry 3.3 yards per play. And they were on the field nine and a half minutes less than the Giants. The offense has been horrible all season, the coaching staff has no answers, etc.

I feel like I can pre-write this price each week and just fill in the numbers.

3) The “Improvement!” » Prize 🎉🍾: Defense

We could identify a number of plays where this or that player made one or two bad plays, but overall the defense played well. They held the Giants to 243 yards, 15 first downs, 3.8 yards per play and 6 sacks.

There was a stretch where they forced five punts on five straight drives. Four of those drives were three-and-outs, and the fifth was just four plays. They kept giving the offense apple bites, and the offense kept giving the ball right back.

4) The ‘MMMMMMMM DRRRRRRROP’ prize 🧈: Makai Lemon

Makai Lemon had 6 catches for 61 yards. He led the Eagles in receiving yards. He also had a few drops, including one on the final drive on a play he had plenty of room to run on if he had made the catch.

Lemon isn’t big or fast, but one of his attractive traits coming from USC was that he had glue hands. If he’s not going to make explosive plays, Lemon has to at least excel at catching the ball, and on Sunday he didn’t do that.

5) The ‘Another One’ award 🩼: Zack Baun

Baun left the game with a back injury and did not return. To be determined depending on the severity of this injury.

But obviously, the Eagles have been completely destroyed by injuries this season. Against the Giants, they were without Jalen Hurts, Lane Johnson, DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Jihaad Campbell and five running backs.

6) The ‘MVP to LVP’ award 📈📉: Braden Mann

Braden Mann had an 86-yard punt, a 60-yard punt and a 56-yard punt.

He was about the only Eagles player who was excited about this game.

Eagles fans should chant MVP when Braden Mann is about to shoot, like fans do at basketball games when the best player shoots free throws.

And then… he dropped a snap (it was high but definitely catchable), picked it up, ran for his life for a moment, then threw it -2 yards, lol.

7) The ‘It’s Been a While’ award 🗓️: The Giants’ last victory in Philadelphia

The Giants last won a game in Philadelphia in 2013. In that game, Michael Vick was injured and Matt Barkley played most of the game. He fumbled three times and threw an INT. The Giants scored five field goals, winning 15-7, with the Eagles’ only score coming on a fumble recovery late in the fourth quarter by Najee Goode.

The ugliness of this game reflected that. So, I don’t know, it’s kind of funny that the Giants can only win in Philadelphia when the Eagles are on their third quarterback.

8) The ‘NFC Least’ award 🦨: The Eagles

After the Eagles’ Week 6 loss to the Carolina Panthers, Eagles optimists hoped the Birds could get back into the playoff race by winning games against their division rivals in Week 7 (Cowboys), Week 8 (Commanders), and Week 9 (Giants).

They lost all three by a combined score of 84-42. The Eagles are very clearly the worst team in the worst division in the NFL.

9) The message “SELL!” » Prize 🤝: Howie Roseman

It has been clear for weeks that the best path for the Eagles was to continue the remainder of the 2026 season by trading away still valuable players who are not part of the team’s long-term plans and maximizing future assets. There should not be a single objector left.

The trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 p.m. EST. The attention of Eagles fans over the next couple of days will turn to Howie.

10) The ‘Big Winners’ Award 🙌: Eagles fans, during the bye week

The Eagles have their Week 10 bye. For many fans, anger has already given way to apathy, but most of you are still watching. Next weekend you don’t have to.
