ARVELL-REESE-JAMESON

TEAM NOTES

Today's 19-11 victory over the Eagles is the Giants' first win in Philadelphia since Oct. 27, 2013.

The Giants defense produced 7 sacks today, the most by the Giants since they had 7 at Seattle on 10/6/24.

The last time the Giants had 7+ sacks against Philadelphia was on 9/30/07, when they totaled a franchise-record 12 sacks.

The Giants defense held Philadelphia to 5-of-18 on third down (28%). It's the fifth time since 2000 an opponent has converted five or fewer third downs on 18 or more attempts against New York, and the first since Oct. 16, 2016, when Baltimore also went 5-of-18.

OFFENSE NOTES

TE Isaiah Likely caught 5 passes for 53 yards and 1 touchdown.

This season, Likely has caught 46 passes for 448 yards and 6 touchdowns. All of those marks are the most by a Giants tight end in their first eight games with the team.

Likely's 46 receptions have already surpassed his single-season career-high of 42, set in 2024. He's also matched his career high in receiving touchdowns with 6, which he previously set in 2024.

His 6 touchdown receptions through eight career games as a Giant are the most by any Giant in the Super Bowl era.

His 46 receptions through eight games are the fourth-most by any Giant through their first eight games with the team, trailing Malik Nabers (61), Saquon Barkley (58) and Odell Beckham Jr. (48).

DEFENSE NOTES

ILB Arvell Reese registered a career-high-tying 12 total tackles, 3.0 sacks, 3 tackles for loss, 3 quarterback hits and 1 forced fumble.

He became just the second Giants rookie since sacks became an official statistic in 1982 to record 3.0+ sacks in a single game, joining B.J. Hill (3.0 sacks vs. Bears on 12/2/18)

Reese's 12 total tackles matched his career-high and tied for the most by a Giants rookie in a single-game dating back to 1994, when tackling data was first tracked. Reese joins Tyler Nubin as the only Giants rookies since 1994 to have multiple games of 12+ total tackles.

Reese is the only rookie in the NFL since 2000 to record 12+ tackles and 3.0+ sacks in a single game.

SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

P Jordan Stout punted six times for 314 yards (52.3 avg.) and landed five inside the 20. He is the first Giants punter to pin an opponent inside the 20 five times in a game since Jamie Gillan on Oct. 29, 2023, against the Jets.

K Dominic Zvada was 4-of-4 on field goal attempts, with a long of 53.

Zvada has made 6 field goals of 50+ yards this season, the third-most of any Giants kicker in a single season in franchise history, trailing Graham Gano, who made 8 in 2022 and 7 in 2021.

Zvada's 13-point performance raised his season total to 64, placing him fifth in franchise history for rookie scoring. He overtook Bill Swiacki (60 in 1948), Eric Schubert (56 in 1985), and Jaxson Dart (54 in 2025).

Zvada has scored the fourth-most points (64) by any player through eight career games with the Giants, trailing only John Carney (78 in 2008), Jay Feely (77 in 2005) and Bill Paschal (72 in 1943).
