VIDEO: Eagles Extend Lead Over Giants After Daniel Jones Turnover and Boston Scott TD
By Scott Rogust
Just when it looked like the New York Giants would score the upset against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, the hard hand of reality slapped them across the face. Looking to come back from a 20-17 deficit, quarterback Daniel Jones' fumble-itis struck, allowing the Eagles to recover at the Giants goal line.

Granted, it wasn't a great snap from center Jon Halapio, so it's not entirely Jones' fault, but the rookie was charged with two fumbles on that play. Not ideal.
The Eagles would immediately respond by scoring a touchdown on a Boston Scott run, extending the Eagles lead to 27-17.

The turnover issues are something Daniel Jones will have to seriously improve this offseason. As for the Eagles, they're loving it because they're about to be NFC East champions.
