There’s nothing like an NFC East clash on “Thursday Night Football.”
The 1-4 Giants will host the 4-1 Eagles at MetLife Stadium for an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Jaxson Dart is expected to be under center for Big Blue after a brief stint on the injury report.
Meanwhile, for Philly, it’ll be the usual suspects on offense led by Jalen Hurts, old friend Saquon Barkley and AJ Brown. However, Pro-Bowl guard Landon Dickerson has been ruled out for the Eagles.
Will the Giants upset the Eagles? Or will the defending champs be too much to fend off? Follow The Post’s live updates for the latest NFL scores, news and highlights.
Cam Skattebo talks about his "fun" first experience facing the Eagles:

Here is a message to the NFL officials who are just getting to know about Cam Skattebo:
Do not — repeat — do not blow the whistle and signal the play dead while Skattebo’s legs are still churning and his heart is still beating.

The irrepressible rookie running back is listed as standing 5-foot-11 and he is not that. He is 5-9, tops. After what he gave the Giants and their happiness-starved fans Thursday night on a perfect autumnal evening, go ahead and list Skattebo as 10 feet tall.
In a game that also included Saquon Barkley, it was another running back who helped lead his team to victory. In a game where the narrative certainly might have been Barkley returning and shredding his former team, it was a different running back who plunged and muscled his way into the end zone. Not once, not twice, but three times.
