Overview

  • The Week 5 game in New Orleans matches the 1-3 Giants with the 0-4 Saints as Kellen Moore pursues his first victory as head coach.
  • Jaxson Dart opened his career with 1 passing touchdown, 1 rushing touchdown and no interceptions, and he now takes his quick-release approach on the road for the first time.
  • Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler is 0-10 as an NFL starter but has a 2025 line of five touchdown passes to one interception.
  • New York’s front featuring Dexter Lawrence, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter and Brian Burns produced 20 pressures in Week 4, facing a Saints line with four former first-rounders but without RG Cesar Ruiz due to a high ankle sprain.
  • The Saints’ defense sits 18th in yards allowed yet 30th in points allowed with only one takeaway and weak third-down results, and the Giants have yielded occasional explosive runs while New Orleans’ longest rush this season is 18 yards.
