On a day where the New York Giants retired Michael Strahan’s jersey, he would have been fired up over their defensive performance on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants held on to knock off the Philadelphia Eagles, 13-7. The defense got after quarterback Jalen Hurts and made him turn the ball over three times — one of those going to second-year safety Xavier McKinney.

McKinney finished with eight total tackles (four solo). He also had two passes defensed to go along with the interception. On the final drive, McKinney nearly had his second interception of the game.
The interception was McKinney’s fifth of the season. Tae Crowder and Darnay Holmes also had interceptions off Hurts as well.
