Numbers to know for Week 8 matchup between Giants & Jets

The New York Giants host the New York Jets in MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 29. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS.

This week's game marks the 15th regular-season meeting between the teams. However, the teams have met every summer in the preseason since 1969, excluding the 2020 pandemic year.

From 1984-2020, the organizations were the only two in the league to share a stadium.

A win on Sunday would improve the Giants' all-time record against the Jets to 9-6. The Jets have won the last two meetings - 23-20 on Dec. 6, 2015 and 34-27 on Nov. 10, 2019 - following a five-game Giants winning streak spanning from 1996 to 2011.
