All eyes will be on the NFC East in this week's "Thursday Night Football" clash.

The Eagles (4-1) aim for a bounce-back win against rookie Jaxson Dart and the Giants (1-4) at MetLife Stadium.

Dart, a first-round pick in April's NFL Draft out of Ole Miss, is set for his third straight start after overtaking veteran quarterback Russell Wilson. Dart threw for a career-high 202 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 12-point loss to the Saints.

He'll face an Eagles team that should be extra motivated following a four-point loss to the Broncos on Sunday, their first defeat of the season — and their first loss since Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season.

Star running back Saquon Barkley, once a Giants phenom, had just six carries for 30 against the Broncos. He's expected to suit up despite missing practice earlier in the week.

Here's everything you need to know about watching "Thursday Night Football" this week.
