Giants-Eagles Game Set for SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL this Weekend

Eli Manning and the New York Giants (3-2) look to add to their three-game winning streak this Sunday, Oct. 12, when they travel to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to face Nick Foles, LeSean McCoy and their first-place NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles (4-1) on Sunday Night Football on NBC. Pre-game coverage begins with FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA at 7 p.m. ET.

The Eagles, tied with the Dallas Cowboys at 4-1 atop the NFC East, have scored seven return touchdowns this season, the most by any NFL team in the first five games of a season since at least 1970. The Giants trail the Eagles and Cowboys by one game in the division, as Manning has led New York to three consecutive victories with an 8-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio, and a 115.2 passer rating - second-best in the NFC over the past three weeks (Aaron Rodgers, 132.9). In addition, the Giants' defense leads THE LEAGUE in interceptions.

Calling Giants-Eagles is seven-time Emmy Award-winner Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his 29th season as THE VOICE of the NFL's premier primetime package; 15-time Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth, who has won the Emmy for Outstanding Event Analyst in each of his five seasons in the SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL booth; and two-time Emmy Award-winning sideline reporter Michele Tafoya.

NBC's coverage of SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL is led by Emmy Award-winning producer Fred Gaudelli and Emmy Award-winning director Drew Esocoff. SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Sports Series for a record six consecutive years.

Football Night in America, the most-watched studio show in sports, is hosted by 26-time Emmy Award-winner Bob Costas, who will report from Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. Costas will be joined on site byCollinsworth, Tafoya, two-time SUPER BOWL winner Hines Ward, and NBC Sports commentator Josh Elliott.

Dan Patrick co-hosts Football Night from NBC Sports Group's Studio 1 and will be joined by Super Bowl-winning head coach Tony Dungy, two-time SUPER BOWL winner Rodney Harrison, Mike Florio of PRO FOOTBALL TALK on NBCSN and NBCSports.com, and Peter King of Sports Illustrated. Carolyn Manno will report from Century Link Field in Seattle, Wash., on the Cowboys-Seahawks game.

Through the first five weeks of the season, FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA is averaging 8.2 million viewers - up 6% from the first five weeks last year (7.7 million).

Tony Dungy: "I thought this was going to be the easiest winner of all of the divisions, Philly played so well the first couple of weeks, Dallas was struggling, the Giants were struggling, Washington was struggling, but the Giants have really come around. Eli looks like he's gotten comfortable with this offense...I know Chip Kelly well and he wants to run the football. That's the staple of the Eagles' offense. I think this is going to be a great game."
