The Eagles (11-) and Giants (7-4-1) are set for an NFC East matchup, with the host from New York badly needing a win to stay in the sixth spot currently in the NFC playoff race.
Philadelphia will look to inch closer toward a division title while maintaining its hold on the top seed and home-field advantage.
Jalen Hurts will return to the scene of one of his worst performances, as the quarterback was 14-31 passing for 129 yards and three interceptions.
With preparation starting for both teams, here are 10 Eagles stats to know for Week 14.
1. Eagles pass rush much improved over 2021
The @Eagles defense, which ranks 2nd in the @NFL with 42 sacks this season (tied for the team's most through 12 games since 1991), has produced 3+ sacks in 6 consecutive games for the first time since 1995 (Weeks 11-16). #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/c5iQybp7vi

6. Robbing season
Philadelphia is taking the football away from opponents.
