Giants vs. Eagles: Statistics, numbers and broken records

The New York Giants were defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles, 23-17, in overtime on Monday night, dropping their record to 2-11 on the season and a tying a franchise record in futility by losing their ninth straight game.

The Giants had dominated the first half and appeared to be in the drivers’ seat, but the wheels completely came off in the second half as the coaching staff failed to make necessary adjustments.

Here’s a look at all the noteworthy stats and records to come from the Week 14 loss:

  • As noted, the loss is the Giants’ ninth in a row, tying an all-time franchise record.
  • With the loss, Eli Manning falls below .500 on his career (116-117).
  • With his two touchdown passes, Manning passed Ben Roethlisberger for seventh place on the all-time list (364 TD passes).
  • With his 203 passing yards, Manning passed Ben Roethlisberger for seventh place on the all-time list (56,740 yards).
  • With receptions by Darius Slayton, Golden Tate and Kaden Smith, Manning has now completed a pass to 97 different players.
  • With the first touchdown reception by Darius Slayton, Manning has now tossed a TD pass to 57 different players.
  • Darius Slayton is the first rookie to have multiple games of 100+ receiving yards and 2+ receiving TD in a single season since 2014, when three players did it: Mike Evans, Allen Hurns and Odell Beckham Jr.
  • Darius Slayton’s 154 yards receiving represent a career high.
  • Darius Slayton has caught two or more TD passes in three games this season, which is a most by a Giants rookie since Odell Beckham Jr. did it four times in 2014.
  • The Giants’ 14-point halftime lead was the largest lead surrendered by the team in defeat since November 30, 2014 (Jacksonville Jaguars).
  • The Giants gained 255 yards of offense in the first half to just 29 yards of offense in the second half.
  • Saquon Barkley has caught at least one pass in his first 26 career games, tying him with Ron Johnson for the longest such streak to start a Giants career.
  • Markus Golden now has 8.5 sacks on the season, which is the highest total by a Giants linebacker since Jessie Armstead recorded nine sacks in 1999.
  • Rookie Oshane Ximines recorded two sacks on Monday night, which represents an early career high.
  • Cornerback Sam Beal made his first career start.
  • Carson Wentz threw 50 passes on Monday night, which was the most against a Giants defense since Denver Broncos QB Trevor Siemian had 50 attempts on October 15, 2017.
