Giants vs. Bengals: Statistics, numbers and broken records

The New York Giants defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, 19-17, on Sunday but unfortunately, that came at a cost. Quarterback Daniel Jones suffered what appeared to be a serious hamstring injury that could cause him to miss several games.

On the bright side, at least for now, the victory moved the Giants into first place in the NFC East and improved their record to 4-7 after starting the season 0-5.

Here’s a look at all the noteworthy stats and records to come from the Week 12 win:

• With Sunday’s win, the Giants have now won 700 games as a franchise. They are just the third NFL team to reach or eclipse 700 victories.

• The Giants have now won three consecutive games, their longest such streak since 2016.

• Sunday’s victory over the Bengals was New York’s first non-divisional win this season.

• The Giants’ win over the Bengals was their first ever in Cincinnati. It’s also the first time the road team has ever won a game between these two teams.

• Six of the Giants’ last seven games have been decided by three points or fewer.

• The Giants gained a season-high 386 yards of offense on Sunday.

• With their 142 yards rushing, the Giants have now gone over 100 rushing yards in six consecutive games.

• The Giants held the Bengals to just 155 total yards of offense, the lowest output by an opponent since the Chicago Bears in 2010 (110 yards).

• Cincinnati’s 11 first down were the lowest by a Giants opponent since 2017 (Washington, 10).

• Brandon Wilson’s 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against the Giants was the longest play in Bengals history.

• Wilson’s kickoff return for a touchdown was the first the Giants have allowed on the road in 30 years (Dallas Cowboys, 1990).

• Daniel Jones, Colt McCoy and Golden Tate all attempted a pass on Sunday, which is the first time three or more players have done that for the Giants since 2007.

• Wayne Gallman scored a touchdown for the fifth consecutive game, the longest such streak since Saquon Barkley did it in 2018. It’s also the longest streak for rushing touchdowns since Andre Brown in 2012-2013.

• Evan Engram’s 53-yard reception was the Giants’ longest pass play of the season.

• With his four field goals, Graham Gano has now connected on 24 consecutive attempts. That is the second-longest such streak in Giants history (Josh Brown, 29).

• Defensive end Niko Lalos made his NFL debut and recorded his first career interception.

• Rookie safety Xavier McKinney made his NFL debut.
