PHILADELPHIA
LeSean McCoy ran 50 yards for the go-ahead score on a fourth-and-1 late in the fourth quarter, and the Philadelphia Eagles rallied to beat the New York Giants 27-17 after blowing a 13-point lead Sunday night.
Michael Vick looked a little more ordinary after a spectacular performance in a 59-28 win over Washington Monday night, but he led the Eagles (7-3) to a comeback win nonetheless, and helped give them sole possession of first place in the NFC East.
Eli Manning threw a pair of touchdown passes to bring New York (6-4) back from a 16-3 deficit. But he lost a fumble after running for a first down on fourth-and-6 with 2:51 left, and the Eagles recovered.
Vick scored on a 4-yard touchdown run and David Akers kicked three field goals as the Eagles led 16-10 entering the fourth quarter.
Eagles defensive back Ellis Hobbs left the field on a stretcher with a neck injury after taking a hit to the helmet on the second-half kickoff return.
Hobbs had full movement in his extremities and X-rays were negative.
He gave the thumbs up with both hands as he was carted off. Hobbs, who was down on the field for 11 minutes while players from both teams gathered around him and the crowd fell silent, was hit by Dave Tollefson on the play and fumbled. The ball was recovered by the Eagles.
