Inside the Numbers: Giants specialize in late-game heroics
The Giants are traveling in territory they’ve never seen and which few NFL teams visit.
With a 6-1 record, the Giants are tied with the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles for the most wins in the NFL. They have won six of their first seven games for the first time since 2008, when they started 11-1.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Giants join the 1988 New Orleans Saints as the only teams to win at least six of their first seven games and have all seven games decided by eight or fewer points. Since the NFL instituted the two-point conversion in 1995, the Giants are the first team to start 6-1 and have each game decided by one score.
The Giants have played seven consecutive games decided by eight or fewer points for the first time since Nov. 13 to Dec. 24, 1994.
Each of the Giants’ last eight victories dating back to last season has been by eight or fewer points, their longest such streak since they had eight in a row in 2015-16
The Giants have won four consecutive games and have trailed in the second half in each of the last three against Green Bay, Baltimore and Jacksonville. They have won three consecutive games after trailing in the second half of each for the first time since Oct. 16-30, 1988, when they defeated Detroit twice and Atlanta.
The Giants are the third team ever to win at least five games when trailing in the second half through their first seven games of a season, joining the 2015 Falcons and 2007 Tennessee Titans.
For the first time in their history, the Giants have won three consecutive games after trailing in the fourth quarter in each one.
