--In their last two NFC East games against the Giants and the Redskins, the Eagles defense has been gashed for a total of 422 rushing yards and allowed a disturbing 4.7 yards per carry. In their other seven games, they've given up just 522 yards and have allowed just 3.3 yards per carry.

"(The Giants) ran the ball and they ran it well and effectively," linebacker Omar Gaither said. "They did some things that put us in bad situations, as far as the edge was concerned. They were able to rack up too many yards. I look at that and that's terrible."

Said head coach Andy Reid: "I'm not concerned other than with stopping it. I know we can do that with the people we have. As coaches, we do some things schematically to tighten up the run defense."

QUOTE TO NOTE: "Yeah, the first one was terrible. That was a terrible choice on my side. It was strictly me. It wasn't the guys in the box or anybody else. That was me. For whatever reasons I had for it, it was wrong. The second one I liked, and I still like." -- Coach Andy Reid on consecutive failed challenges on fumbles by Giants RB Brandon Jacobs in the second half that left the Eagles with only one timeout on their final drive.
