The Philadelphia Eagles entered Sunday looking to end their losing streak after making a change at quarterback. However, Joe Milton could not provide the spark the team needed in his first start. The Eagles lost 19-11 to the New York Giants, extending their losing streak to six games and dropping to 2-7. Despite the result, Milton said the team remains focused on improving rather than giving up on the season. “I just want to be better. We want to be better as a team. I don’t think too many people going home. I think everybody should be there and will be here, just trying to get better and closer.

He said seeing his teammates remain excited and committed showed that the team had not given up. Milton finished 18-of-34 for 169 yards without a touchdown or interception. He also rushed for 64 yards, including a 24-yard run, but took seven sacks as Philadelphia managed only 220 total yards. The Eagles signed Milton off the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad on Oct. 16 after Jalen Hurts landed on injured reserve. He replaced Tanner McKee, who went 0-3 as the starter before the coaching staff made the switch. Philadelphia now faces important questions heading into its bye week. Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion remains under pressure, while head coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged that the team’s struggles start with him. The Eagles will return from the break against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With their losing streak continuing, the team will need more than a quarterback change to turn its season around.
