Eagles vs. Giants 2013, Week 5: Live coverage, score updates and more

Following the game, Eagles head coach Chip Kelly stood by his current starter, Vick. Kelly also added that Vick could have returned to the game if Foles was injured. The coach decided that Vick was not moving comfortably in pocket and decide to avoid further injury by letting Foles play.

While Kelly is behind Vick as the starter, he was very impressed by Foles’ performance:

Wilson ran for 16 yards on six carries with a touchdown, but New York lost, 36-21, to fall to 0-5 on the season.

Mike Garafolo also added that the injury was not thought to be serious.

UPDATE: The Giants have announced that Wilson will not return to the game.

Wilson, a second-year man out of Virginia Tech, scored on a five-yard run early in the first quarter to put the Giants up 7-0. It was his first touchdown of the season. He had six carries for 16 yards before exiting.

Look on the bright side, Giants fans: at least it wasn’t a turnover.

Giants running back David Wilson scored first in against the Eagles in an NFC East battle for the basement this Sunday. He was so happy about the possibility of contributing to his team’s first win of the season, he flipped out ... backflipped that is, twice.

Then again, maybe he’s just happy to be making the most of his second chance after nearly fumbling his way out of the lineup to start the season.

The Giants have fallen from grace this season due to a horrific defense, several turnovers and a non-existent running game. New York has given up the most points in the league at this point in the season (146) and are allowing an average of 36.5 points per game. That scoring allowance is even worse when you considered the offense is only producing 15.2 points per game, which is the third-worst average in the NFL through four games. Quarterback Eli Manning leads the league in interceptions (9) and the Giants’ running backs have combined for just 231 yards, which ranks 30th out of 32 units.
