With a 3-2 record in NFC East games, the Giants are over .500 in their division for the first time since they finished 4-2 in 2016. They will play their final division game at home against Dallas on Jan. 3.
The Giants have owned a double-digit lead in each of the last six games, their longest such streak in a single season since 1989, when they had a lead of 10 or more points in nine consecutive games.
Philadelphia rushed for 156 yards, the highest total by a Giants opponent this season.
Jones’ 34-yarder was the longest touchdown run by a Giants quarterback since Nov. 10, 1991, when Jeff Hostetler scored on a 47-yard run in a 21-14 victory at Phoenix.
Wayne Gallman has scored a touchdown in four consecutive games, the longest streak by a Giants player since Saquon Barkley reached the end zone in five consecutive games in 2018. Each of Gallman’s touchdowns was on the ground. He is the first Giants player to rush for a touchdown in four consecutive games since Andre Brown had a streak of six straight games in 2012-13.
