What happening?
Eagles Keys For Success:
1. Exploit the Giants' secondary. Donovan McNabb, who passed for 240 yards and three touchdowns against the Giants in Week 8, should have another big night against New York's struggling secondary. The Giants have allowed an average of 298 passing yards in its past three games, and opponents are converting just under 50 percent of third-downs situations. With wide receiver DeSean Jackson expected to return from a concussion, the Eagles must make the vertical game a priority.
2. Protect McNabb. The Giants sacked McNabb twice in the first game, but for the most part he had plenty of time to make his progressions and hit targets in stride. He tossed touchdowns of 54 yards and 23 yards mainly because left tackle Jason Peters and right tackle Winston Justice kept the Giants' star-studded pass rushers off McNabb. The Giants got an effective rush last week against Dallas by standing up the pass rushers to confuse the Cowboys' offensive line. The Eagles must be ready for whatever tricks come from Giants coordinator Bill Sheridan.
3. Put the "special" in special teams. First, the Eagles need David Akers to get over his Giants Stadium hex. He has made just four of his last eight field-goal attempts there and had two blocked last year there. The swirling winds around the Meadowlands seem to play mind tricks with Akers, who usually has the distance there but not the accuracy. Second, the Eagles need better kickoff coverage against the Giants' Domenik Hixon, the reigning NFC special teams player of the week. The Eagles have rolled out the red carpet for returners this year. They're allowing 24.4 yards per return.
Giants Keys For Success:
1. Stop the run. Even though the Giants allowed a career-high 392 yards passing and three touchdown passes by Tony Romo last week, they survived the onslaught because they made Dallas one-dimensional by limiting it to a season-low 45 yards rushing. The Giants' run defense has become more athletic with the insertion of defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka and linebacker Jonathan Goff.
2. Cover the tight end. Dealing with opposing tight ends hasn't been easy for the Giants, who have difficulty with their coverage down the field whether they put a linebacker or a cornerback on a quality pass-catcher. The Giants are coming off a 31-24 victory over the Cowboys, but their work against Jason Witten wasn't the reason why. Witten really never was stopped as he caught 14 passes for 156 yards, mostly against linebacker Michael Boley. The Eagles' Brent Celek leads his team in receptions and, while not as dynamic as Witten, is a sure-handed target who will be targeted by McNabb on third down.
3. Run the ball. Despite their victory last week, the Giants failed to establish a punishing ground game, as the best moment for Brandon Jacobs came on a 74-yard catch-and-run. Historically, the Giants have had success running into the vacated areas of Eagles blitzers. Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw�who ran well against Dallas even though he was coming off two sprained ankles�must get to the second line of the defense and then make sharp cuts to turn modest gains into larger ones.
