Overview
- Isaiah Likely scored two touchdowns and was a decisive factor in the Giants’ win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.
- He was a primary target for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, showing quick chemistry with multiple catches and important red-zone plays.
- The Giants signed Likely in March to a three-year deal worth roughly $40 million to reunite him with coach John Harbaugh and add a top receiving option.
- Media reaction was strong, including on-air praise and comparisons to elite tight ends, but outlets reported slightly different stat lines so official box scores should be checked.
- Likely spent four seasons in Baltimore with mixed production, so Sunday’s breakout framing is promising but still an early sample that requires follow-up games to confirm a sustained role.
