What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles named Joe Milton their starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, benching Tanner McKee. A competent showing would position Milton to maintain the starting role through Philadelphia's Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Why it matters: Milton becomes the fourth quarterback to throw a pass for Philadelphia this season amid persistent offensive instability. The Eagles enter the divisional stretch seeking traction under center after dropping a 27-10 decision to Washington.

What to watch: Milton makes his first career NFL start Sunday against the Giants, with a potential Thanksgiving reunion against Dallas three weeks later.
