Giants vs. Cowboys: Statistics, numbers and broken records

The New York Giants fell to the Dallas Cowboys, 44-20, in Week 5 and that wasn’t even the team’s worst loss of the day. That came by way of injuries to quarterback Daniel Jones (concussion), running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee).

Things get no easier for the Giants with games against the Los Angeles Rams, Carolina Panthers and Kansas City Chiefs on tap over the next three weeks.

But before we look ahead to those games, let’s see what interesting stats, numbers and broken records were birthed from the Week 5 loss to Dallas.

  • Dallas’ 44 points are the most the Giants have allowed since November of 2017 (51, Rams) and the most on the road since December of 2015 (49, Vikings).
  • The 24-point margin of defeat was the second-highest of the Joe Judge era.
  • The Giants have lost eight of their last nine games against Dallas.
  • The 515 total yards given up to Dallas is the ninth-most in Giants history and the highest total since 2015 (608, Saints).
  • In replacing Daniel Jones, Mike Glennon saw his first regular-season action as a Giant.
  • Kadarius Toney’s 189 receiving yards is an all-time Giants record for a rookie.
  • Toney had the Giants’ first 10-catch game by a receiver since 2019 (Darius Slayton).
  • The Giants started their fifth different offensive line combination in as many weeks.
  • Lorenzo Carter hauled in his first career interception.
  • Austin Johnson recorded his third sack on Sunday, which extends his career-high.
  • Graham Gano kicked two field goal of more than 50 yards, giving him four on the season. That is one shy of the team’s all-time record which Gano set in 2020.
