Inside the Numbers: Telling stats for first-place Giants

Entering their bye week in first place, the New York Giants have compiled several notable statistics through the first seven weeks of the 2026 season. Head coach John Harbaugh boasts an NFL-best .833 winning percentage in games immediately following a bye week. Additionally, the Giants became just the 21st team in league history since 1950 to have three different starting quarterbacks win a game in the first seven weeks.

Individual contributors have driven this start, including tight end Isaiah Likely with 41 receptions and wide receiver Malik Nabers recording four consecutive 100-yard games. Defensively, rookie linebacker Arvell Reese surpassed 50 total tackles in his first seven career games, while the unit leads the NFL by forcing a three-and-out on 32.9 percent of opponent drives.
