Rookie Tiki Barber scored on a 1-yard run and made two big plays to set up a touchdown pass and Sam Garnes, another first-year player, returned a fourth-quarter interception 95 yards to hold off a late Philadelphia rally.

The much-maligned Dave Brown looked good in new coach Jim Fassel’s passing system, running 3 yards for a touchdown and hitting Chris Calloway on a 9-yard scoring pass.

Eagles coach Ray Rhodes pulled starting quarterback Ty Detmer for Rodney Peete, who guided Philadelphia to two late scores before Garnes’ interception sealed New York’s victory.
