ARVELL-REESE-JAMESON

Notes and stats for the Giants at the the bye week (all NFL rankings are through seven weeks):

John Harbaugh is 15-3 (.833 win percentage) in games immediately following the bye week.

John Harbaugh1530.833
Andy Reid2350.821
Mike Tomlin1540.789
Dennis Green1130.786
Wade Phillips730.700

The impressive record will be put to the test in Philadelphia, where the Giants have lost 13 consecutive games, including one in the postseason. The Giants' last victory at Lincoln Financial Field was on Oct. 27, 2013. Harbaugh won his most recent road game against the Eagles in 2020.

2

The Giants are the only team to play two overtime games this season, both of which occurred on the road in a three-week span. They tied Washington in Week 5 and defeated Houston in Week 7. It snapped a six-game winless streak (four losses and two ties) in overtime games.

3

Three different starting quarterbacks (Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy) have won a game for the Giants, the first time it has occurred in team history through seven games. It is also just the 21st time it has happened in NFL history since quarterback starts were first tracked in 1950. Furthermore, it has happened only three previous times for an entire season with the Giants.

Most different starting QBs with a win in single season (since QB starts were first tracked in 1950)

1959Charlie Conerly 8, George Shaw 1, Don Heinrich 1

4

The Giants had four different players (Jameis Winston, Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary) rush for a touchdown against Houston. The last time the Giants had four different players score on a rushing attempt in the same game was on Dec. 3, 1950 vs. the New York Yanks (Bob Jackson, Charlie Conerly, Choo-Choo Roberts and Eddie Price).

4.13

The Giants average a league-high 4.13 yards per play in the red zone, including 6.24 through the air (also the best in the league). They have scored touchdowns on 66.7 percent of their trips to the red zone, tied for eighth in the NFL.

5

J.J. McCarthy has won five consecutive games as the starting quarterback, including three against NFC East teams. Last December with the Vikings, he defeated the Commanders, Cowboys and Giants. The Giants come out of the bye week with back-to-back divisional games in Philadelphia and home against Washington (Thursday night).

10

Cornerback Deonte Banks is second in the NFL with 10 passes defensed. He trails only Tampa Bay's Jacob Parrish by one.

20

J.J. McCarthy had five completions of at least 20 yards in Week 7, tied for the most in a game in his career (he also had five in Week 6 when he played only the final 11 minutes). McCarthy's 10 completions of at least 20 yards this season are the second-most in the NFL since Week 6 behind only Caleb Williams (11).

27

The Giants have scored at least 27 points in four consecutive games, their longest such streak since 2010 (also four games).

32:35

The Giants have the third-highest average of time possession (32:35), trailing only the Bears (32:35) and the undefeated Vikings (32:43)

32.9

The Giants have forced a three-and-out on 32.9 percent of their opponents' drives (26 of 79), the best mark in the NFL. Seattle is second at 30.4 percent.

41

Isaiah Likely has 41 catches, one shy of his career high with Baltimore in 2024. He is the third tight end in NFL history to surpass 40 receptions in his first seven games with a team (Brock Bowers and Keith Jackson are the others). Likely is on pace for 100 catches, which has happened just three times in franchise history at any position. It would shatter Jeremy Shockey's franchise record of 74 catches for tight ends, which has stood since 2002. Mark Bavaro is the only Giants tight end to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards, doing so in 1986 with 1,001.

50

Rookie linebacker Arvell Reese is the only Giant to surpass 50 total tackles in his first seven career games since they were first officially tracked in 1994.

51.6

Jordan Stout leads the NFL with a gross punting average of 51.6 yards. His net average of 43.6 yards is fifth.

100

Malik Nabers is the second Giants player with four straight 100-yard receiving games after Odell Beckham Jr., who did it in 2014 (four straight games) and 2015 (six straight games).

197

John Harbaugh has 197 wins as a head coach, including postseason. Only 11 head coaches have reached 200 combined wins. Denver's Sean Payton is one away from joining the club.
