Notes and statistics to get you ready for the Week 5 matchup between the New York Giants (1-3) and New Orleans Saints (0-4) at Caesars Superdome.

All-time series

Sunday will be the 34^th meeting between the two franchises. The Giants lead the all-time series 17-16 but have lost their past two outings in 2023 (away) and 2024 (home). The Giants are 4-9 at the Superdome, with their most recent win coming in 2021.

Where are they now

After losing their first three games of the season, the Giants made a quarterback change to Jaxson Dart and defeated the previously unbeaten Chargers at home. The 25^th overall pick from Ole Miss became the first rookie quarterback to beat a team 3-0 or better in his first career start since Phil Simms in 1979 against the 5-0 Buccaneers (excluding strike seasons). Overall, the Giants became the first 0-3 team to beat a 3-0 team since 2008. They also defeated the Chargers for the first time since 1998.

The Saints, who have lost eight consecutive games, are 0-4 to start a season for the first time since 2012. They have not started 0-5 since 1996.

New Orleans has been outscored 46-34 in two home games this season. They have lost their past two games, both on the road, by a combined score of 75-32.

When the Giants have the ball

*Sunday will be rookie Dart's first NFL road start.

*Dart is the first quarterback since at least 1950 to record a passing touchdown, rushing touchdown, no interceptions, 50+ rush yards and a win in his first NFL start.

*Last week, the Giants boasted multiple rookies (Dart and Cam Skattebo) with at least 50 rushing yards in a game for the first time since 1980 (Larry Heater and Leon Perry). Skattebo led the way Sunday with 79 yards on 25 carries and is fifth among all NFL rookies in yards from scrimmage.

*Wide receiver Malik Nabers suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 4. Nabers had two catches for 20 yards on three targets to that point in the game. In four games this season, Nabers totaled 18 receptions for 271 yards, including 167 and two touchdowns against the Cowboys in Week 2. Nabers made the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2024 after breaking the franchise's single-season reception record.

*Nabers led the NFL with 10.8 targets per game since the start of 2024.

*Wan'Dale Robinson is tied with Nabers for the team lead in receptions and ranks second with 237 receiving yards. Darius Slayton is next with 135 yards and needs 64 more to surpass Sterling Shepard for 16th on the franchise's all-time list. Jalin Hyatt played 29 snaps on Sunday after lining up for just six in the first three games combined.

*Rookie starting quarterbacks are 6-1 in the last 10 seasons against winless teams in Week 5 or later.

*The Giants are last in the NFL in red zone scoring, converting just 26.7 percent of their attempts into touchdowns. New Orleans' defense has allowed touchdowns on 76.9 percent of opponents' drives in the red zone, 30^th in the NFL. The Giants have 15 red zone trips this season, tied for seventh in the league.

When the Saints have the ball

*Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler has the best touchdown-to-interception ratio (5-to-1) by any quarterback with zero wins over the team's first four games since the 1970 merger (minimum 100 pass attempts). He is the first quarterback to be winless through his first 10 starts with a team since Jared Goff was 0-9-1 with the Lions in Weeks 1-12, 2021, according to NFL Research.

*Running back Alvin Kamara needs 189 receiving yards to reach 5,000+ for his career. He would be the fifth player in NFL history with 5,000 rushing and 5,000 receiving yards, joining Tiki Barber and Hall of Famers Marshall Faulk, Marcus Allen and Lenny Moore.

*Outside linebacker Brian Burns has the most sacks by a Giants player in the first four games of a season since Osi Umenyiora (6.0) in 2007. The most sacks through the first four weeks of a season in Giants history:

1. Lawrence Taylor, 1984 (8.0)

2. Leonard Marshall, 1985 (7.5)

3. Osi Umenyiora, 2007 (6.0)

T4. Michael Strahan, 1998 (5.0)

T4. Brian Burns, 2025 (5.0)

*The Saints have generated a league-low four plays of 20+ yards. The Giants have allowed 15, tied for 20^th in the NFL. On the ground, the Giants have given up five runs of 20 yards or more. Only the Bears have allowed more with six.

The game within the game

Giants opponents have an average starting field position of 25.5 yards, the second-lowest mark in the NFL. Saints opponents have started drives on average at 33.3 yards, good for 26^th.
