The New York Giants were defeated by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday Alshon Jeffery Jersey , 20 to 15. It was looking like the G-Men were going to have one last drive to attempt a comeback but punt returner Kaelin Clay muffed the ball and the Jags recovered to seal the deal. Overall, it was a relatively unimpressive start for the Giants, who went 3-13 last year. The 37-year-old Eli Manning went 23/37 for 224 yards, zero touchdowns, one interception (a pick six), and a 67.9 passer rating. Still not scaring anybody. Saquon Barkley did flash with an impressive 68-yard touchdown run. But prior to that point it was apparent how he could easily struggle behind a bad Giants offensive line. Barkley only mustered 38 combined yards on his other 17 carries (2.2 average) of the game. The always uninspiring Pat Shurmur lived up to his reputation by failing to go for it on a key fourth-down play. The Giants also had a delay of game penalty coming out of halftime. Oh and Shurmur lost a challenge where a Jaguars running back was clearly down. The Jaguars — whom the Eagles play in Week 8 — didn’t look so great either. Their defense is certainly still solid http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-lane-johnson-jersey , but Blake Bortles is just clearly bad. Not to be outdone, the Giants’ defense allowed a 41-yard run to him. On a day when the Eagles don’t play, it’s always good to see one of their division rivals lose. Let’s see if the Cowboys and/or Washington will join the Giants. He’s back.Carson Wentz has been cleared to return and is slated to start for the Philadelphia Eagles against Indianapolis in Week 3.“I was impressed with how well he attacked his rehab throughout the offseason,” coach Doug Pederson said Monday. “He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do and he’s ready to go.”Wentz tore his left ACL and LCL on Dec. 10, 2017 in a game against the Los Angeles Rams and had surgery three days later. Backup quarterback Nick Foles led the Eagles to their first NFL title since 1960 and was Super Bowl MVP in the 41-33 victory over New England.Foles embraced his role from the start and wanted to return to the Eagles this season instead of seeking a starting opportunity elsewhere.“The greatest thing for me is that (quarterback) room has no egos,” Pederson said. “Nick all along has understood that this is Carson’s football team. We owe a lot of gratitude to Nick Foles for what he’s done and how he’s led this team. He’s very supportive.”Wentz set a single-season franchise record with 33 touchdown passes last season. The final one came a few plays after he suffered his injury.Wentz Womens Nelson Agholor Jersey , the No. 2 overall pick in 2016, finished third in NFL MVP voting in his second year. Pederson doesn’t expect him to pick up where he left off immediately.“It’s going to take some time to get in the rhythm and flow of the game,” Pederson said. “The speed of the game is different than practice. He will be totally prepared. He comes early, stays late, asks a lot of questions, he has a lot of ideas. He’ll be ready mentally.”The Eagles (1-1) lost 27-21 at Tampa Bay (2-0) on Sunday.Wide receiver Mike Wallace broke his fibula in the first quarter and will miss several weeks.Wentz probably won’t have top receiver Alshon Jeffery Zach Ertz Jersey , either. He’s been sidelined since having offseason shoulder surgery and Pederson said Jeffery is week to week.“Carson’s not Superman. It’s going to take the 10 other guys around him to do their job as well,” Pederson said.___
