To substitute one word for the sake of decorum, preparing for Thursday Night Football is like packing 10 pounds of football into a five-pound bag.
The Giants started stuffing on their flight back from New Orleans.
With no time to dwell on what happened in the Superdome just a few hours before takeoff, Brian Daboll and his staff began to hatch a plan in the air. It ultimately led to a 34-17 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles, ending a streak of 10 consecutive losses on Thursdays.
"I'd say a long plane trip back from New Orleans, we were really on to this week," Daboll said. "I credit the leadership from the coordinators to the position coaches to put together what we needed to do for that particular game. I think you balance that with, it's short so you don't want to add too much, but we have enough in each area that we can add some things and then we did a little bit of different meeting times and extra walk-throughs. I thought we needed it, and they were dialed in on those. They were dialed in on them. We gave more time to each area, special teams, defense, offense so they had a little bit more time to go through that."
Adding to the time crunch was the health of the roster, particularly at wide receiver, while Jaxson Dart prepared for his first primetime start. The Giants, who were already down Malik Nabers for the season, lost Darius Slayton for at least one game after the longest-tenured Giant on offense injured his hamstring in New Orleans, just four days before facing Philly
"We got a lot of reps," Daboll said. "Even though they were walk-throughs we got a lot of reps in the three kinds of practices that we did have, and the guys were dialed in with them. If we walk through some things that were new that just took three or four times to get it done, maybe we scrapped that. Or if we thought it was going to be good, we walked through it a few more times to make sure that we felt comfortable calling it and I thought the coordinators did a good job of calling the game, of being prepared, and then most importantly having their players prepared as did the position coaches."

Given the same time constraints, the Eagles came off a Sunday home loss to the Broncos – whom the Giants will face in Denver in Week 7 – before their 90-mile trip to MetLife Stadium.
They brought with them the No. 1 red zone offense and No. 3 red zone defense. Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts also packed 279 straight pass attempts without an interception, the longest active streak in the NFL. That is, until Cor'Dale Flott halted any comeback attempt.
Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen dialed up the pressure on Flott's pick.
"Have to be aggressive," Daboll said in his postgame press conference. "I told Shane to be aggressive. Don't hold anything in your holster. Go after them. Thought he did a good job of mixing things up. Disguising some stuff. Again, that's a good football team. That's a damn good football team. They're going to make plays."
At the end of night, the Giants offense walked away 11-for-16 on third down and 3-for-3 in the red zone. Defensively, they limited the Eagles to just one third-down conversion on nine attempts.
"Again, there was a lot of time spent here," Daboll said. "A lot of work put into it, both from the assistant coaches and the players. That's why I'm very happy for both of those groups, the coaches and the players, because I saw the work they put into it, the extra meetings the players had, the coaches, the communication that goes into it, and it was good to see that get the outcome that we so desired."
