Eagles trade places with Giants
GIANTS: The Super Bowl champs had one last gasp in the waning seconds, with Manning hitting five straight passes to jump-start the drive. A pass-interference penalty on Joselio Hanson set up a 1-yard pass to tight end Darcy Johnson as the Giants kept breathing. Barely.
Drive: 1:54, 6 plays, 70 yards. 1-yard touchdown pass.

Eagles, 20-14

EAGLES: Carney made the obligatory onside kick, but Sheldon Brown covered it and McNabb knelt to end the game.
Drive: 0:15, 1 play, minus-1 yard. End of game.
FINALLY: Two things became obvious at the bleak, windswept Meadowlands.
First, the Eagles are a totally different team with a healthy Westbrook. It's hard to imagine a player in all of football who is more important to his team.
Second, the bitter tie in Cincinnati on Nov. 16 is almost certainly going to keep the Birds out of the playoffs.
