EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants’ 52-49 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday was one of the most statistically fascinating games in franchise and NFL history. The final numbers included plenty of records, precedents, and unusual occurrences. Some of them were reported immediately following the game – the 101 combined points tied for the third highest-scoring game in NFL history, and the 13 touchdown passes set a league record. New Orleans’ Drew Brees tied the individual mark with seven scoring throws.
That’s just a fraction of the statistical news from the game.
