8: The number of catches Victor Cruz had in the last meeting with Seattle. In the 2011 contest, he hauled in a 68-yard touchdown en route to 161 receiving yards, both of which are highs in the series history.

7: The Giants have averaged seven yards per carry in a game (minimum 25 attempts) seven times under head coach Tom Coughlin, including a 2008 victory over the Seahawks. Led by Brandon Jacobs' 136 yards, the Giants racked up 254 yards on 36 rushes (7.1 average) in a 44-6 victory at Giants Stadium.

6: Kicker Joe Danelo made six field goals in a 32-0 victory over the Seahawks at the Kingdome in 1981, the most by a Giant in franchise history.

2: Seattle has just two wins when they travel to East Rutherford to face the Giants (1983 and 2011). Big Blue is 6-2 at home against the Seahawks historically but lost its only matchup in MetLife Stadium 36-25 in 2011, the second season in the Giants' new home.
