Jake Elliott kicked four field goals and the host Philadelphia Eagles scored 13 points in the fourth quarter en route to a 33-25 victory over the New York Giants on Monday.

New York (5-10) pulled within 20-18 thanks to Adoree' Jackson's 76-yard pick-6 with nine seconds left in the third quarter.

But the Eagles (11-4) then pulled away, with D'Andre Swift rushing for a 5-yard touchdown and Elliott adding a 44-yard field goal to make it 30-18 with 6:04 remaining in the game. Tyrod Taylor connected with Darius Slayton for a 69-yard scoring strike to pull the Giants within 30-25.

Elliott's 43-yarder with 1:10 to go put the Eagles up by eight.

The Giants' final drive went 49 yards to the Philadelphia 26-yard line. On the last play, Taylor's pass into the end zone was intercepted by Kelee Ringo to seal the outcome.

The Eagles moved a game in front of the Dallas Cowboys (10-5) atop the NFC East. Both teams have two games remaining.

Jalen Hurts threw for a TD and rushed for another for Philadelphia. He completed 24 of 38 passes for 301 yards and was picked off once.

Taylor took over under center for Tommy DeVito, who was benched to start the second half. Taylor finished with 133 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 7-for-16 passing. DeVito was 9 of 16 for 55 yards.

Swift gained 92 yards on 20 carries. Philadelphia's A.J. Brown caught six passes for 80 yards, and DeVonta Smith had four receptions for 79 yards and a touchdown.

Slayton finished with 90 yards on three catches, and New York running back Saquon Barkley amassed 80 rushing yards and a touchdown on 23 attempts.

The Giants went three-and-out on the game's first possession, and Britain Covey's 54-yard punt return set up the Eagles on the New York 13-yard line. Two plays later, Hurts ran for a 1-yard touchdown.

A 52-yard Mason Crosby field goal just over four minutes later got the visitors within 7-3, but the Eagles started to pull away in the second quarter.

Field goals of 28 and 21 yards from Elliott sandwiched Hurts' 36-yard scoring pass to Smith, and Philadelphia led 20-3 at halftime.
