Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux Criticizes Key Officials' Call After Eagles Win 38-20

In a Week 8 NFL game, the New York Giants suffered a 38-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, marred by controversial officiating calls involving the Eagles' trademark "tush push" short-yardage play. Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux stripped the ball from Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts on a critical fourth-and-1, but officials ruled Hurts' forward progress had stopped before the fumble, negating the turnover; this call was not reviewable, sparking frustration from Thibodeaux and Giants head coach Brian Daboll. Thibodeaux criticized the ruling as "bulls---," though he acknowledged the difficulty referees face in judging when to stop forward progress. Additionally, a 68-yard touchdown reception by Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was nullified due to offensive pass interference, further compounding the Giants' grievances. Despite their protests, Daboll's challenge of the first down ruling was unsuccessful, and the Eagles capitalized by scoring a go-ahead touchdown shortly after. The Giants dropped to a 2-6 record and expressed hopes to rebound in their next game against the San Francisco 49ers.
