Cam Scattebo threw three touchdown passes as he and fellow rookie Jackson Dart shined and the New York Giants beat the team. Philadelphia Eagles 34-17 on Thursday night, handing the defending Super Bowl champions their second straight loss.
Skattebo rushed into the end zone from four yards out and twice from the one-yard line. Dart ran untouched on his 20-yard run and connected with Wan'Dale Robinson on a 35-yard interception to the end zone.
The Cubs, each of whom suffered huge losses Sunday in New Orleans, responded as coach Brian Daboll hoped they would. Dart completed 17 of 25 passes for 195 yards and 13 carries for 58 yards after suffering a concussion following a hard hit, while Skattebo rushed 19 times for a career-high 98 yards.
The Giants (2-4) also sacked Jalen Hurts three times and took him off the field. Brian Burns faced the Eagles' quarterback twice to tie the game. NFL leads the team in sacks this season with seven.
Hurts beat a wide-open DeVonta Smith on a play in the third quarter that almost certainly would have been a touchdown had it been accurate, and in the fourth was intercepted by Cor'Dale Flott, who returned the ball 68 yards. It was Hurts' first interception of the season and only his second (the other was in the Super Bowl) in his last 15 games.
The Eagles (4-2) pushed four straight times in the second quarter, with Hurts scoring on the final drive and he threw a shovel pass to Dallas Goedert. But Hurts' mistakes coupled with defensive woes led to their first straight losses since finishing the 2023 regular season with three in a row and then knocked them out of the playoffs.
It was just the Giants' fourth win in their last 18 games against the Eagles, their NFC East rivals.
