Both teams ended the first quarter without a tally on the scoreboard, as only the Eagles' moved inside its opponent's territory in the first 15 minutes. That drive, which stretched into the beginning of the second quarter, ended when the Eagles failed to convert on a 3rd-and-11 situation at the Giants' 45-yard line and was forced to punt on fourth down.

Meanwhile, the Giants had only one other drive to march inside Eagles' territory. That march stopped at the 49-yard line after Manning couldn't complete a pass on 3rd-and-3 and New York was forced to punt for the third time near midfield with about nine minutes to play in the first half.

Manning finished the first half 14-for-26 with 151 yards.

Kenny Phillips injury: Return is doubtful for Giants' safety

A knee injury has forced New York Giants' safety Kenny Phillips to leave Sunday night's showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles early, and according to the Giants' official Twitter feed his return is doubtful. Phillips, a five-year veteran that has spent his whole career with New York, went down in the first quarter with an apparent knee sprain.

Despite walking off on his own power, Phillips' return doesn't look good. In his place will be Stevie Brown, a three-year player out of the University of Michigan. This season, Brown has played in all three of the Giants' games and has recorded five tackles and one interception. In his career, Brown has played for the Indianapolis Colts and Oakland Raiders.

The loss of Phillips could be key for the Giants (2-1), who are trying to earn sole possession of first place in the NFC East Division. New York is trying to extended its winning streak to three straight games.

Eagles vs. Giants score: First quarter ends in 0-0 tie

Sunday night's Week 4 showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants has reached the end of the first quarter tied at 0-0. A victory would help the Giants (2-1) or Eagles (2-1) earn sole possession of first place in the NFC East Divisions standings.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning has struggled completing just 4 of 11 passes for 35 passing yards. Eagles quarterback Michael Vick hasn't been much better as he's 5-for-9 for 72 yards.

So far only the Eagles have surpassed the 50-yard line, as they will begin the second quarter with the ball on the Giants' 48-yard line facing a 2nd-and-10 situation. Philadelphia's other drives in the first quarter never got any further than its own 42-yard line.

New York twice has reached midfield but were forced to punt both times as they failed to convert on third-down situations. The Giants finished the first quarter with only 12 rushing yards.
