Joe Milton III will make his first NFL start for the Philadelphia Eagles on November 8 against the New York Giants, replacing Tanner McKee, who went 0-3 in his starts. The Eagles have averaged just 15 points per game during that stretch and totaled only 265.3 yards per game this season, ranking last in total offense. Milton's mobility and arm strength may provide the offense with a necessary spark, particularly against a Giants defense that blitzes frequently. Head coach Sean Mannion will look to leverage Milton’s skills to create more explosive plays and a more balanced attack. However, concerns about Milton's experience and decision-making remain as he faces a critical matchup with key starters ruled out due to injuries.
