Burns’ meeting sparks Giants’ statement win over Eagles | JQJO

Brian Burns convened a players-only defensive meeting early in the week, then backed it up as the Giants beat the Eagles 34-17, blanking Philadelphia after halftime. Burns logged two sacks to tie the NFL lead at seven and spearheaded a unit that produced Cor’Dale Flott’s pivotal fourth‑quarter interception. With the cornerback rotation shelved, New York stifled third downs (1-for-9) and bottled Saquon Barkley. Cam Skattebo powered the offense with 98 yards and three touchdowns behind an improving line. Afterward, a game ball went to cancer-stricken co-owner John Mara.
