Rashad Jennings, still the team’s leading rusher despite missing the last four games with a knee injury, could return for the home game Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
It seems like the Giants went to Seattle with a lot of ammunition they stockpiled during the week and for three quarters the weapons Big Blue tossed at the Seahawks was working.
Unfortunately Eli Manning and company ran out of stuff to throw at the healthier Seahawks at the end of the third quarter when the teams were tied 17-17.
Seattle scored 21 fourth quarter-points to win 38-17…a game that was much closer than the score showed.
The Thanksgiving showdown between the visiting Eagles and the Cowpokes has been a collision course that both teams are on. That afternoon in front of a football crazed nation should set records for a regular season Fox telecast. But if their is one thing the Washington upset alerted the NFL to is that there are NO guarantees.

There are many “sports drinks” that are great for re-hydration and getting electrolytes back into you system, so by no means do I want to punt them away.
But, chocolate milk offers you a great mix of carbohydrates and proteins to help jump start the rebuilding and recovery process.
The Eagles are still hopeful for a title run this season even with the loss of Nick Foles and DeMeco Ryans. If they want to have a chance, rookie kicker Cody Parkey must be a weapon the Eagles can count on. So far so good.
Chip Kelly met with reporters to talk about the Carolina Panthers, their opponent on Monday. He also answered questions about injured players such as Todd Herremans and Nick Foles.
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll talks about his team’s 5-3 record. Life as defending Super Bowl Champion and cornerback Richard Sherman who most would say is not playing like the “Best corner in the game.”
In all likelihood Big Blue was going to lose to the Colts on Monday Night Football at MetLife Stadium, but they took themselves out of any chance for an upset but simply not playing smart.
Dumb penalties, dropped passes by both wide receivers and defensive backs, plus a lack of focus by both players and head coach Tom Coughlin all added up to a 40-24 loss.
Eagles fans can be happy that their team is off to a great start. But that first half success has come at a price. Starting quarterback Nick Foles is out for at least a month but will return. The biggest loss was linebacker DeMeco Ryans, who is out for the season.
There was a lot of everything that the went on during and after the Eagles (5-2) thrilling 24-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals (6-1) at the University Phoenix Stadium Sunday: Big plays on on offense and defense, Big bombs by Carson Palmer (75-yarder to John Brown), a 54-yard Nick Foles to Jeremy Maclin, stellar defensive play by LB DeMeco Ryans for the Eagles and S Rashad Johnson for the Cardinals.
