Sustituyendo una palabra por decoro, prepararse para el Thursday Night Football es como tratar de meter 10 libras de futbol en una bolsa de cinco.
Los Giants empezaron a prepararse en su vuelo de regreso de Nueva Orleans.
Sin tiempo para pensar en lo que había sucedido en el Superdome apenas unas horas antes del despegue, Brian Daboll y su equipo comenzaron a trazar un plan en el aire. Finalmente, esto condujo a una victoria por 34-17 sobre los Eagles, campeones defensores del Super Bowl, poniendo fin a una racha de 10 derrotas consecutivas los jueves.
"Diría que, durante el largo vuelo de regreso desde Nueva Orleans, ya estábamos concentrados en esta semana", dijo Daboll. "Doy crédito al liderazgo de los coordinadores y los entrenadores de posición por organizar lo que necesitábamos hacer para ese partido en particular. Creo que hay que equilibrar el hecho de que la semana es corta, así que no puedes agregar demasiado, pero teníamos suficiente en cada área como para añadir algunos elementos. También modificamos un poco los horarios de las reuniones e hicimos más walk-throughs (repasos sin contacto). Sentí que lo necesitábamos, y ellos estuvieron totalmente concentrados en eso. Le dimos más tiempo a cada área —equipos especiales, defensa y ofensiva— para que tuvieran un poco más de tiempo para repasarlo".
A la presión de tiempo se sumó el estado físico del roster, especialmente entre los receptores, mientras Jaxson Dart se preparaba para su primer partido como titular en horario estelar. Los Giants, que ya habían perdido a Malik Nabers por el resto de la temporada, se quedaron sin Darius Slayton al menos por un partido, después de que el jugador más veterano de la ofensiva se lesionara el tendón de la corva en Nueva Orleans, apenas cuatro días antes de enfrentar a Filadelfia.
"Hemos hecho muchas repeticiones", dijo Daboll. "Aunque fueron walk-throughs, hicimos muchas repeticiones en los tres tipos de prácticas que hicimos, y los chicos estuvieron muy concentrados. Si repasábamos algo nuevo que necesitaba tres o cuatro intentos para hacerlo bien, tal vez lo descartábamos. Pero si creíamos que funcionaría, lo repasábamos varias veces más hasta sentirnos cómodos para usarlo en el partido. Creo que los coordinadores hicieron un buen trabajo dirigiendo el partido, preparándose y, lo que es más importante, preparando a sus jugadores, al igual que los entrenadores de cada posición".

Dadas las mismas limitaciones de tiempo, los Eagles venían de una derrota en casa el domingo ante los Broncos, a quienes los Giants se enfrentarán en Denver en la Semana 7, antes de su viaje de 90 millas al MetLife Stadium.
Llegaban con la ofensiva número uno y la tercera mejor defensiva ambas en la zona roja, y con Jalen Hurts, MVP del Super Bowl, acumulando 279 pases consecutivos sin intercepción, la racha más larga en activo de la NFL. Eso fue hasta que Cor'Dale Flott frenó cualquier intento de remontada.
El coordinador defensivo Shane Bowen aumentó la presión sobre la elección de Flott.
"Hay que ser agresivo", dijo Daboll en la rueda de prensa posterior al partido. "Le dije a Shane que fuera agresivo. Que no se guardara nada. Que fuera por ellos. Creo que hizo un buen trabajo variando las jugadas. Disimulando algunas cosas. Una vez más, es un buen equipo. Es un equipazo. Van a hacer jugadas".
Al final de la noche, la ofensiva de los Giants convirtió 11 de 16 terceras oportunidades y 3 de 3 en la zona roja, mientras que la defensiva limitó a los Eagles a una sola conversión en tercera oportubidad en nueve intentos.
"Una vez más, se dedicó mucho tiempo a esto", dijo Daboll. "Se ha trabajado mucho, tanto por parte de los entrenadores asistentes como de los jugadores. Por eso estoy muy contento por ambos grupos, los entrenadores y los jugadores, porque he visto el trabajo que han realizado, las reuniones adicionales que han tenido los jugadores, los entrenadores, la comunicación entre todos, y ha sido bueno ver que se ha obtenido el resultado que tanto deseábamos".
