Inside the Numbers: Malik Nabers milestone tracker

MALIK-NABERS-JAMESON

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Malik Nabers and Tyrone Tracy continue to be bright lights in an otherwise dark Giants season.

The two rookies continue to compile impressive statistics and reach milestones despite the team's 2-12 record.

Nabers caught 10 passes for 82 yards and scored a touchdown Sunday in the Giants' 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in MetLife Stadium. He joined Odell Beckham, Jr. (four games), Jaylen Waddle (three) and Brock Bowers (three) as the only rookies in NFL history with three games of 10-or-more receptions.

Nabers has 90 catches for 901 yards and four touchdowns this season. He and Beckham - two LSU products and Giants first-round draft choices - are the only players in league history with 90+ receptions, 900+ receiving yards and 4+ touchdowns in their first 12 career games. Beckham had 91 catches, 1,305 yards, and 12 scores in his 12-game rookie season in 2014. He missed the first four games of that season with a hamstring injury.

Nabers and Beckham (91) are the only players with at least 90 receptions in their first 12 career games in NFL history.

Bowers, the Las Vegas Raiders' first-year tight end, and Nabers increase to 11 the number of rookies in NFL history with 90+ receptions. Each currently has 91 catches and four touchdowns. Bowers has 67 more receiving yards (968).

With three games remaining, both players are on track to join the select group of rookies to reach 100 receptions: Arizona's Anquon Boldin (101 in 2003). Miami's Jaylen Waddle (104 in 2021) and the Ram's Puka Nauca (rookie record 105 in 2023).

With two catches this week in Atlanta, Nabers will become the Giants' rookie record-holder, surpassing the mark of 91 set by Beckham in 2014 and tied by Saquon Barkley four years later.

Nabers needs 99 yards to join Beckham (1,305) as the only rookies in Giants history with 1,000 receiving yards.

*Tracy has 915 scrimmage yards (695 rushing and 220 receiving) and Nabers has 903 (two rushing). They are the first pair of Giants rookies to each have 900+ scrimmage yards. They rank third and fourth among all rookies in Giants history, trailing only Barkley (2,028 in 2018), and Beckham (1,340 in 2014). Beckham averaged 111.7 yards a game.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, only two pairs of rookie teammates have each finished with 1,000+ scrimmage yards. The 1960 American Football League Dallas Texans – who later became the Kansas City Chiefs - had Abner Haynes (1,451 yards) and Johnny Robinson (1,069), and the 2006 New Orleans Saints had Reggie Bush (1,307) and Marques Colston (1,038).

*Tracy and Nabers rank fourth and fifth among this season's rookies in scrimmage yards, trailing Tampa Bay's Bucky Irving (1,148), Jacksonville's Brian Thomas, Jr. (986) and Bowers (982).

*Tracy leads the Giants with five touchdowns. Nabers is tied for second and leads in receiving scores with four. They are the first pair of Giants rookies to each have 4+ touchdowns since 2014, when Beckham had 12 and running back Andre Williams had seven.

*Tracy's 695 rushing yards place him second among NFL rookies, behind only Irving (852). Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels is third with 656.

*Tracy ranks sixth among rookies in Giants history. He could climb as high as second, but Barkley's record is safe this season:

GIANTS ROOKIE RUSHING TOTALS

2018: Saquon Barkley - 1,307

1936: Tuffy Leemans - 830

2000: Ron Dayne - 770

2014: Andre Williams - 721

1950: Eddie Price - 703

2024: Tyrone Tracy - 695

*Because he suffered a concussion, quarterback Tommy DeVito played only the first half Sunday against the Ravens. But that was long enough to set a Giants record. None of DeVito's 13 passes was intercepted. That increased to 183 the number of passes he has thrown without being picked off. It's the Giants' longest streak since the 1970 merger, breaking Daniel Jones' former mark of 177, set in 2020.

DeVito has the NFL's fourth-longest active streak, behind Caleb Williams (255), Kenny Pickett (221) and Matthew Stafford (184).

*The other starting quarterback in MetLife Stadium Sunday, Baltimore's Lamar Jackson, also reached statistical milestones. He completed 21 of 25 pass attempts (84%) for 290 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions for a 154.6 passer rating and rushed for 65 yards. He became the first player in NFL history with five touchdown passes, 50+ yards rushing and a completion percentage of 80-or-higher in a regular-season game since Buffalo's Josh Allen in an AFC Wild Card Game on Jan. 15, 2022 (when Brian Daboll was his offensive coordinator).

*Jackson's 154.6 passer rating was the highest by a Giants opponent since Dallas's Dak Prescott posted a perfect 158.3 rating on Sept. 8, 2019. Before Baltimore did it Sunday, that was also the last game in which the Giants had allowed touchdowns on five consecutive opponent possessions.

*Jackson's 84% completion rate was the fifth highest in a game against the Giants all-time among quarterbacks with 20+ attempts. It was the highest by a Giants opponent since Baker Mayfield, then with Cleveland, hit 84.3% of his passes (27 of 32) on Dec. 20, 2020.

*The Ravens converted 81.8% of the third-down opportunities (9 of 11), the highest percentage the Giants have allowed in a game with 10+ attempts since the merger.

*Brian Burns increased his season total to 8.0 sacks on Sunday to become the eighth player in NFL history with at least 7.5 sacks in each of his first six seasons. He joins Reggie White (14), Derrick Thomas (10), Jared Allen (10), DeMarcus Ware (8), Ryan Kerrigan (8), Aaron Donald (8) and Yannick Ngakoue (7).

Burns and Myles Garrett are the only two players with 7.5+ sacks every year from 2019-24.

*Micah McFadden has made 11 tackles in each of the Giants' last four home games and leads the team with a career-high 102 stops. McFadden's eight tackles for loss tie him with Dexter Lawrence for second on the team, five behind Burns.

*The Giants have won the coin toss in each of the last five games and in six of the last seven. They've deferred each time.
