Inside the Numbers: Malik Nabers milestone tracker
*Tracy has 915 scrimmage yards (695 rushing and 220 receiving) and Nabers has 903 (two rushing). They are the first pair of Giants rookies to each have 900+ scrimmage yards. They rank third and fourth among all rookies in Giants history, trailing only Barkley (2,028 in 2018), and Beckham (1,340 in 2014). Beckham averaged 111.7 yards a game.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, only two pairs of rookie teammates have each finished with 1,000+ scrimmage yards. The 1960 American Football League Dallas Texans – who later became the Kansas City Chiefs – had Abner Haynes (1,451 yards) and Johnny Robinson (1,069), and the 2006 New Orleans Saints had Reggie Bush (1,307) and Marques Colston (1,038).
*Tracy and Nabers rank fourth and fifth among this season’s rookies in scrimmage yards, trailing Tampa Bay’s Bucky Irving (1,148), Jacksonville’s Brian Thomas, Jr. (986) and Bowers (982).
*Tracy leads the Giants with five touchdowns. Nabers is tied for second and leads in receiving scores with four. They are the first pair of Giants rookies to each have 4+ touchdowns since 2014, when Beckham had 12 and running back Andre Williams had seven.
*Tracy’s 695 rushing yards place him second among NFL rookies, behind only Irving (852). Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels is third with 656.
*Tracy ranks sixth among rookies in Giants history. He could climb as high as second, but Barkley’s record is safe this season:
GIANTS ROOKIE RUSHING TOTALS
2018: Saquon Barkley – 1,307
1936: Tuffy Leemans – 830
2014: Andre Williams – 721
*Because he suffered a concussion, quarterback Tommy DeVito played only the first half Sunday against the Ravens. But that was long enough to set a Giants record. None of DeVito’s 13 passes was intercepted. That increased to 183 the number of passes he has thrown without being picked off. It’s the Giants’ longest streak since the 1970 merger, breaking Daniel Jones’ former mark of 177, set in 2020.
DeVito has the NFL’s fourth-longest active streak, behind Caleb Williams (255), Kenny Pickett (221) and Matthew Stafford (184).
*The other starting quarterback in MetLife Stadium Sunday, Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson, also reached statistical milestones. He completed 21 of 25 pass attempts (84%) for 290 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions for a 154.6 passer rating and rushed for 65 yards. He became the first player in NFL history with five touchdown passes, 50+ yards rushing and a completion percentage of 80-or-higher in a regular-season game since Buffalo’s Josh Allen in an AFC Wild Card Game on Jan. 15, 2022 (when Brian Daboll was his offensive coordinator).
*Jackson’s 154.6 passer rating was the highest by a Giants opponent since Dallas’s Dak Prescott posted a perfect 158.3 rating on Sept. 8, 2019. Before Baltimore did it Sunday, that was also the last game in which the Giants had allowed touchdowns on five consecutive opponent possessions.
*Jackson’s 84% completion rate was the fifth highest in a game against the Giants all-time among quarterbacks with 20+ attempts. It was the highest by a Giants opponent since Baker Mayfield, then with Cleveland, hit 84.3% of his passes (27 of 32) on Dec. 20, 2020.
*The Ravens converted 81.8% of the third-down opportunities (9 of 11), the highest percentage the Giants have allowed in a game with 10+ attempts since the merger.
*Brian Burns increased his season total to 8.0 sacks on Sunday to become the eighth player in NFL history with at least 7.5 sacks in each of his first six seasons. He joins Reggie White (14), Derrick Thomas (10), Jared Allen (10), DeMarcus Ware (8), Ryan Kerrigan (8), Aaron Donald (8) and Yannick Ngakoue (7).
Burns and Myles Garrett are the only two players with 7.5+ sacks every year from 2019-24.
*Micah McFadden has made 11 tackles in each of the Giants’ last four home games and leads the team with a career-high 102 stops. McFadden’s eight tackles for loss tie him with Dexter Lawrence for second on the team, five behind Burns.
*The Giants have won the coin toss in each of the last five games and in six of the last seven. They’ve deferred each time.
