Tanner McKee led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 20-13 victory over the New York Giants, showcasing his potential with 269 passing yards and two touchdowns. This game served as a valuable tune-up for the Eagles, who are preparing for a wild-card playoff clash against the Green Bay Packers. Key starters like Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley rested, the latter missing his chance to break Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record after finishing with 2,005 yards.

The Eagles' performance, although not without some disappointment regarding Barkley’s absence, remained strong as McKee demonstrated his capabilities. He threw a 15-yard touchdown to Ainias Smith and later connected with E.J. Jenkins for another touchdown, solidifying his role as a backup quarterback contender for next season. Tight end Dallas Goedert's return from injury added to the Eagles' offensive depth as they look ahead to the playoffs.
