The Eagles (4-1) are set to wear all-black uniforms for the first time ever as they host the New York Giants (3-2) on Sunday night. Philadelphia has had a bumpy road to their current record, with some believing that they doesn't deserve to be in the position that they are in right now. The Eagles can prove the team's worth against a Giants squad that has been terrific over the last three games.

The Eagles will need Nick Foles and LeSean McCoy to bounce back after an unimpressive five-game stretch. The Giants have been able to put up points, so Philadelphia's defense needs to play well against the NFC East division rivals. This is expected to be a very entertaining and close contest.
