Only three of the NFL's five unbeaten teams could make it to five wins. Kansas City, New Orleans and Denver moved to 5-0 Sunday, while New England and Seattle finally lost.
There's plenty of blame to go around after the Giants' latest loss -- a 36-21 setback to the Eagles Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium.
Boomer and Craig got things started with the mess that is New York Football Giants, who watched Nicks Foles, not Michael Vick, lead Philadelphia's late surge - which actually makes matters somehow worse...
Manning couldn't fathom how his team could be keeping company with Jacksonville at the bottom of the standings.
Giants were leading 21-19 in third quarter, but then gave up 17 straight points to drop to 0-5 on the season.
Wilson nearly was trapped in the end zone for a safety. His return is questionable.
Giants starting cornerbacker Corey Webster misses his third straight game with groin injury. He had been listed as doubtful.
Hill played in 12 games last season but missed four games while serving a suspension for violating the NFL's policy on PEDs.
Veteran guard Chris Snee has been placed on injured reserve by the New York Giants and is out for the rest of the season because of an injured hip.
The Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants are each desperate for a victory on Sunday, so any advantage can prove helpful. With that in mind, this week's injury report hands a decided advantage to the Eagles, which shows only two players on it. Meanwhile, the New York Giants had eight players who did not practice, in addition to the pending trade of Jon Beason to work with heading into week five.
It's expected that Beason will challenge Mark Herzlich for a starting spot at middle linebacker with the Giants once he learns the defensive scheme. The Giants rank 21st in overall defense.
For the Giants to save their season, their best player must rise above the mess around him. No one is questioning Manning's credentials, but his future is still up for debate.
This losing streak has to end sometime for the New York Giants, and if this is the week, it would not be impossible for the Giants to get back in the putrid NFC East race.
Coach Tom Coughlin has a battered group heading into Sunday's game at MetLife Stadium, although he's not going to offer any excuses. He knows what is at stake and so do his players.
It has to happen Sunday against the Eagles, though. Already, just a quarter of the way through the schedule, the Giants are running out of chances.
