nick had patience. the giants only rushed three, they dropped eight. he looked left, he looked left he finally came back right and found alshon jeffrey. very poised pocket.livering anw and you got a big old strong tall target with great hands and by the way good feet because you got to keep your feet inbound but nick foles made the play. patience in the pocket. outstanding job by foles. and one thing about nick, he will read the defense presnap. he's an experienced guy. he sees the giants right here. they've got eight defenders in the box. that means only three in courage. once the ball is snapped he'll read it. nice route design by frank wright. you'll get a rub from nelson agholor trying to pick off that defender but you'll see it once nick drops back he sees that the rub element really didn't work. torrey smith is covered. but he goes to secondary receiver nelson agholor does a great job of making his camp.

from the end zone you see what a great catch this. not a real good throw but you got one of those, you got the touchdown for nick foles. >> the eagles did not go conservative with nick foles. on defense seems like there was a lot of things to clean up right now, jaws. >> yeah, it was a dispinting point, game for the defense. the rush wasn't there on a consistent basis. the secondary was biting those quick slants. when eli manning gets in a can p pretty good. let's show you the touchdown pass to king. you'll see malcolm jenkins on the blitz. jalen mills right here on king thinking we're going to get pressure the ball is going to come out quick. he was wrong. they ran a slant and a goal on him and everything worked for the giants so when you look at mills he will bites that quick slant, all of a sudden king goes over the top easy touchdown for the giants. you see the move right there. again, they stay with the short passing game. did the new york giants. after this play, they came

back with just a slant. ronald darby gets beat by king again. shows explosive speed. right now the eagles have to concern themselves moving forward with teams that have a good quick passing game and generate explosive plays. >> tighten those things up and hopefully things will get better on the defense side of the ball. he's jaws, i'm ducis. back to you. >> on to the next game. >> christmas night. >> still to come on "action news" tonight the explosive accuweather forecast. >> as we take a live look from our sky6 camera, it's a pretty picture of the center city skyline tonight. meteorologist melissa magee will have those warm details from accuweather when we come right back. >> ♪ what do you think? hey, think ben will like it? yeah, was i the only one hearing the angelic music? i'm serious, i never know what to get him. just tell me you got him fios too.
