CB Asante Samuel, who had an interception that set up the Eagles’ first-half touchdown — the only touchdown to that point — had to be administered an IV to replenish fluids at the start of the third quarter. He returned to the Eagles’ sideline after the Giants kicked a field goal early in the third quarter.

For the third straight day, LB Zak DeOssie (back) and DE Justin Tuck (lower leg, knee) were the only players listed on New York’s injury report Friday, and both are probable for Sunday’s NFC Divisional Playoff Game against the NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles. DeOssie and Tuck were limited in practice Friday, as they were Thursday.

In their past five games, the Giants have a mere seven sacks. This might not be so alarming were it not for the fact that New York rung up 30 sacks in its first eight games this season.
