“Miles is obviously our guy and is making big plays on top of big plays,” coach Nick Sirianni said Friday. “That’s not something that’s surprising to us because we see that in practice every day. I thought he had a great practice [Thursday]. I’m excited for him to be able to play against his hometown team. That’s kind of a cool thing.
