But things went downhill for Manning from there.
The Giants had won three in a row. They'll host Dallas (2-3) next week.
MURRAY'S BACK: Murray had his best game since joining the Eagles after a record-breaking season in Dallas. The All-Pro led the NFL in rushing last year and broke Emmitt Smith's single-season club record, but has struggled in Philadelphia. He entered the game with 130 yards this season. He has 192 of his 239 yards in the last two games. "It was good to get him going," Eagles coach Chip Kelly said.
The Eagles took a 14-7 lead in the second quarter when Carroll jumped in front of a pass intended for Dwayne Harris and ran it back untouched for his first career TD.
"All the credit goes to them," Bradford said of Philadelphia's defense. "For us to go where we want to go, I've got to play much better."
Here's some things we learned from the game:
Bradford threw for 280 yards with a 32-yard TD pass to Riley Cooper, but had three interceptions. The Giants got zero points off the turnovers.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sam Bradford kept the New York Giants in the game. His defense wouldn't let Eli Manning do anything.
The Giants gave the Eagles first downs on a roughing-the-passer penalty and a running-into-the-kicker penalty to keep both of their TD drives going,NFL Jerseys Supply.
DOMINANT HALF: The Eagles held the Giants to 55 total yards in the second half,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, including 27 yards passing. "It was tough to find completions out there," Manning said.
"We were stagnant," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "They did more with their opportunities than we did."
"That's bad football,cheap jerseys," Coughlin said.
No kidding.
THE NFC LEAST: The ugly,nfl jerseys authentic china, sloppy performance by both teams was fitting for a division that doesn't have a team with a winning record. The Eagles have already lost at home to Dallas and at Washington. "We have to be able to own the NFC East if we want to go into the playoffs," Eagles safety Walter Thurmond said.
"Terrible read by me, bad decision to make that throw," Manning said. "I should have gone to my next guys in my progression."
DeMarco Murray ran for 109 yards and a touchdown, Nolan Carroll returned one of Manning's two interceptions for a score and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Giants 27-7 Monday night.
Manning completed his first 10 passes, including a 13-yard TD pass to Odell Beckham Jr. for a 7-0 lead.
MISTAKE-PRONE: Kelly blamed a couple of Bradford's picks on receivers running the wrong routes. Bradford said the team is "lacking attention to detail." That's not a good sign for an offense six weeks into the season.
After Nikita Whitlock ran into punter Donnie Jones to give Philadelphia a first down at its 28, Murray took over. He had two runs of 11 yards each and finished off the drive with a 12-yard TD run to give Philadelphia a 24-7 lead in the third quarter.
RUNNING UP-TEMPO: The Giants came out playing Kelly's style of football, running a no-huddle offense. They moved right down the field and Manning connected with Beckham across the middle for a score. But that was it.

Wearing all-black uniforms for the third time in franchise history, the Eagles got off to another slow start.
The Eagles had three takeaways, sacked Manning three times and forced two intentional grounding penalties.
The Eagles were 1-3 before a 39-17 win over the New Orleans Saints at home last week. They'll travel to play unbeaten Carolina (5-0) next Sunday night. |
