Giants vs. Eagles presents John Harbaugh with a trap Brian Daboll would fall into

Writer Michael Haney argues that the New York Giants' Week 9 road matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles is a classic trap game for head coach John Harbaugh. Despite entering as 3.5-point favorites and leading the NFC East, the Giants face an injured Philadelphia team that has replaced the injured Jalen Hurts with quarterback Joe Milton III. Haney believes former coach Brian Daboll often lost such winnable games.

Haney asserts that Harbaugh's disciplined track record makes New York far less likely to overlook this division matchup. The writer highlights that Harbaugh went 15-3 after bye weeks during his tenure with the Baltimore Ravens, suggesting that extra preparation time will help quarterback J.J. McCarthy and the Giants avoid an upset.
