NY Giants Crushed by Eagles & Refs in Ugly 38-20 Loss

Giants vs Eagles Postgame Reaction — Week 8 Meltdown in Philly
The New York Giants fell 38-20 to the Philadelphia Eagles in a brutal Week 8 matchup where everything that could go wrong… did. Between a disastrous defensive showing against the run, a missed fumble call on Jalen Hurts’ infamous “tush push,” and a key injury to Cam Skattebo, this one left Giants fans fuming.

It wasn’t just the scoreboard — it was the officiating, the sloppy tackling, and the frustrating déjà vu of watching the Giants defense get gashed again and again. The Eagles controlled the trenches from the opening drive, while Big Blue struggled to stop Saquon Barkley and the Philly rushing attack.

To make matters worse, Cam Skattebo left the game with an apparent ankle injury in the second quarter, leaving the Giants backfield thin and the offense one-dimensional. Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart fought hard but couldn’t overcome the poor protection and questionable play calling.

The moment everyone’s talking about? Jalen Hurts clearly fumbled during a goal-line “tush push,” scooped up by the Giants defense — only for the officials to blow the play dead. The call took away a potential turning point in the game, and fans are rightfully furious.
