The Giants are hot

The Giants are also on a streak of their own. They’ve won two straight and aim for their third consecutive victory on Sunday, which is something they haven’t been able to do since 2016.

Quarterback Daniel Jones is back under center and exploded last week against Washington with 352 passing yards and five touchdowns with no INTs for a 132.1 rating. He is the first rookie with 300+ passing yards, 5+ TD passes and 0 INTs in single game in NFL history.

Jones joined Pro Football Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton (1961) and Deshaun Watson (2017) as the only rookies with three or more games of 4+ TD passes. Jones also has 2+ TDs with 0 INTs in three of his past four starts.

Running back Saquon Barkley had career-high 279 scrimmage yards (career-high 189 rushing 90 receiving) and two TDs (one rush, one receiving) in Week 16 at Washington, the most scrimmage yards in single game in Giants history.

Barkley also became the fifth player since 1970 with 275+ scrimmage yards and have both rushing and a receiving TD in a single game.
