TEAM NOTES<\/p>\n
Today’s game ended in a 27-27 draw, the first time the Giants have tied an opponent since 12\/4\/22, when they tied Washington, 20-20, at MetLife Stadium.<\/p>\n
It is the third time the Giants and Washington have played a game that ended in a tie. That is tied with the Packers and Vikings for the most dead heats since the NFL added overtime in 1974.<\/p>\n
The Giants three most recent ties have all come against Washington. Before the 20-20 tie on 12\/4\/22, the Giants most recently tied Washington, 7-7, on 11\/23\/97.<\/p>\n
In total, it marked the 35th tie in Giants history.<\/p>\n
OFFENSE NOTES<\/p>\n
QB Jameis Winston completed 33-of-54 pass attempts for 326 yards and 3 touchdowns for a passer rating of 96.7. He also rushed 5 times for 27 yards.<\/p>\n
It is the only time since 1950 that a Giant has thrown for 300+ passing yards, 3+ passing touchdowns and 25+ rushing yards in the same game.<\/p>\n
Winston’s 54 passing attempts tied for sixth-most by a Giants quarterback in a single game since 1960. It is the most passing attempts in a single game by a Giants quarterback since 12\/17\/17 when Eli Manning threw 57 passes against Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
All three of Winston’s passing touchdowns came in the second half, making him the first Giants\u00a0 quarterback since Manning against Philadelphia on 9\/24\/17 to throw for 3+ touchdowns in a second half.<\/p>\n
WR Malik Nabers caught 11 passes for 121 yards and 1 touchdown. He was targeted 20 times.<\/p>\n
Nabers, playing in his 24th career game today, has 156 receptions over the course of his career. He is just the fourth player in NFL history to record 150+ receptions in fewer than 25 games, joining Odell Beckham Jr., Michael Thomas and Brock Bowers.<\/p>\n
Nabers’ 20 targets tied for the second-most in a single game by a Giant since 1960. The last time a Giant was targeted 20 times in a game was Odell Beckham Jr. vs. Philadelphia on 12\/22\/16.<\/p>\n
TE Isaiah Likely had a career day, catching a career-high 11 passes for 94 yards and a career-high-tying 2 touchdowns.<\/p>\n
He became the first Giants tight end in franchise history with 9+ receptions and 2+ receiving touchdowns in a single game.<\/p>\n
Likely has totaled 33 receptions through his first five games as a Giant, the most by any tight end through five games with the team.<\/p>\n
Today marked the fourth time in the Super Bowl era that the Giants have had multiple players with 10+ catches in the same game (Nabers, 11, and Likely, also 11).<\/p>\n
The other duos to have 10+ catches in the same game are Nabers (12) and Wan’Dale Robinson (11) vs. Dallas on 9\/26\/24, Victor Cruz (11) and Hakeem Nicks (10) vs. Tampa Bay on 9\/16\/12 and Mario Manningham (10) and Steve Smith at Dallas on 9\/20\/09.<\/p>\n

The other four defensive backs to reach 2.0 sacks in a single game are Bill Currier (12\/26\/82 vs. St. Louis), Jason Sehorn (9\/29\/96 vs. Minnesota), Tito Wooten (11\/22\/98 vs. Philadelphia) and Jason Pinnock (9\/15\/24 at Washington).<\/p>\n
