What happened: Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Joe Milton and New York Giants quarterback JJ McCarthy will start against each other Sunday in an NFC East matchup. The two starting quarterbacks have been with their current franchises for a combined 56 days. Milton was named Philadelphia's starting quarterback Wednesday after the team benched Tanner McKee.

Why it matters: The divisional matchup tests two recently revamped offenses with key divisional positioning on the line. Philadelphia seeks to rebound after falling 27-10 to the Washington Commanders on Nov. 1. New York enters rested following a 27-21 road win over the Houston Texans on Oct. 25.

What to watch: The Eagles and Giants kick off Sunday in their first divisional meeting of the season.
