The first was Jerry Golsteyn 44 years ago, and the most recent was Jones on Sept. 19, 2019 rookie season. The list also includes two strike-replacement quarterbacks (Jim Crocicchia and Mike Busch). The first start record of the 15 quarterbacks is 8-7. The Giants and Chicago Bears (Nick Foles) Sunday became the sixth and seventh teams to start three quarterbacks this season. joining Carolina, Cleveland, New Orleans, the Jets and Washington. The 2015 season was the last in which seven teams started at least three different quarterbacks. This is the first season in 29 years in which the Giants start three quarterbacks. In 1992, Phil Simms, Jeff Hostetler, and Kent Graham all started for the Giants. Glennon, who had started the previous three games, completed 17 of 27 passes for 93 yards, a nine-yard touchdown to tight end Evan Engram and an interception that was returned 29 yards for a touchdown by Alex Singleton. Saquon Barkley led the Giants with 32 rushing yards on 15 carries, the longest seven yards. Devontae Booker ran for 27 yards on 10 carries.

The others were Sills, defensive tackle David Moa and tackle Isaiah Wilson. Moa had one unassisted tackle and Wilson was the only player in uniform who did not play. Graham Gano scored the game’s first points with a 54-yard field goal with 11:41 remaining in the second quarter.

Offensive tackle Nate Solder and nose tackle Danny Shelton did not play after they were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list yesterday. Solder started each of the first 14 games, including 13 at right tackle and the Oct. 10 game in Dallas at left tackle, which Andrew Thomas missed because of a foot injury. Solder opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID concerns but had started in 83 consecutive regular-season and postseason games for which he was eligible, including all 46 since joining the Giants in 2018. He had last missed a non-opt-out game on Sept. 11, 2016, when a hamstring injury forced him out of the New England Patriots’ opener at Arizona. Second-year pro Matt Peart made his fifth start of the season and second at right tackle, where he played when Solder moved to the left side against the Cowboys in October. Peart also started three games at left tackle when Thomas was on injured reserve. Peart suffered a sprained left knee on a two-yard run by Saquon Barkley with 4:31 remaining in the first quarter. He was helped off the field and retreated to the locker room after a sideline examination and did not return. Peart was replaced by Korey Cunningham. Shelton has played in 12 games this season and has 29 tackles (12 solo) and a half-sack. He was inactive vs. Carolina on Oct. 24 and at Kansas City on Nov. 1 because of a pectoral injury.

He is the first offensive lineman to catch a touchdown pass against the Giants since the Phoenix Cardinals’ Luis Sharpe on Oct. 21, 1990.
