NEW DELHI: In their Week 18 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, the New York Giants pulled off a stunning upset, winning 27-10.

Marcus Mariota soon took his position, and on his first throw attempt, he intercepted the ball.After a fumble early in the game, 26-year-old Brown injured his knee and had to go to the locker room, which kept him out of the game.
