The #Giants had the No. 1 overall defense in the preseason - 1st against the pass, 5th vs the run.
They allowed just 22 points over the three games.
They also did it without ILB Tremaine Edmunds and 2/3 of their starting D-line (DJ Reader, Shelby Harris) playing a single down.
Jalen Brunson's final season of his 20s:
🗽 26.0 PPG, 6.8 APG, 46.8 FG%
🗽 NBA-best 28.4 PPG in Playoffs
🗽 Emirates NBA Cup MVP
🗽 Eastern Conference Finals MVP
🗽 NBA Finals MVP
Happy 30th birthday, @jalenbrunson1!
Odell Beckham Jr. after learning he made the Giants roster
"I am excited. I found out when I was walking off the field. Coach said congratulations and he said that I worked hard. I told him I will give him everything I got. He said “let’s go do it.”
After that I went to the locker room and I just dapped up my teammates. Jameis (Winston) definitely gave love and so did Jaxson (Dart). Everybody gave me love. Now I just got to go get it. I have one more gear to go; one more gear in me. I came to New York to give my all, and that's what they’re going to get out of me. To the city, to the fans, I love you."

Some of the wildest stats in NFL history:
- The Bears have never had a 4,000+ yard passer in a season (106 seasons)
- All 4 of the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts Superbowls were played in Miami
- Larry Fitzgerald in 17 seasons finished with more tackles (42) than drops (29)
- During the entire 2014 NFL regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs did not throw a single receiving touchdown to a wide receiver
- The Panthers have never recorded back to back winning seasons in their franchise history, yet they once won the NFC South division 3 years in a row (31 seasons)
- The Buccaneers lost 26 consecutive games from 1976-1977. This was their first 26 games as a franchise. 0-14 in year 1, then they went 2-12 in year 2.
- Every NFC team has played in the NFC Championship game since 2010, except the Cowboys, who haven’t since 1995
- Ryan Fitzpatrick led the 2019 Dolphins in Rushing Yards (243) and TD’s (4).. Dude was 37 years old at the time..
- Tom Brady never played a game in his entire career where he was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs going into it.
- For his entire career, Tom Brady has a better chance of getting to the Super Bowl (47.6%) than Steph Curry has of making a 3 pointer (42.2%).
- The Jets joined the NFL in 1970. They beat the eagles for the first time in 2023.
- The Lions went 70 straight games without having a 100 yard rusher. This was during the Stafford era.. it started after Reggie Bush rushed for 117 yards on Thanksgiving in 2013. The drought lasted almost 5 seasons before Kerryon Johnson rushed for 101 yards in 2018..
- Mike Vrabel had 12 career receptions during his career, and every single one was a touchdown..
I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.
Keke Palmer couldn’t stop LAUGHING at Jamie Foxx doing HILARIOUS impressions of Will Smith and Idris Elba refusing the role of Django Unchained because it was too GORY for them, while telling the story of how he got the role by showing up to Quentin Tarantino’s house with his OWN HORSE 😭😭
Shannon Sharpe and Ocho Cinco started clowning 49ers Owner Jed York after he was arrested
while Joe Johnson looked completely disgusted by the whole situation😭
