His catch total is NFL all-time best in team’s first three games. … WR Ted Ginn Jr., looking for TD in third straight against New York. …DE Cameron Jordan tied for league lead with four sacks. Since 2015, Jordan ranks fourth with 34 1/2 sacks. … LB Demario Davis aiming for fifth straight game with eight-plus tackles. … Giants QB Eli Manning was 25 of 29 for 297 yards and two TDs last weekend. In last four against Saints, has 1,383 yards passing, 12 TDs and three interceptions. … RB Saquon Barkley ranks seventh in NFL with 376 yards from scrimmage; tops among rookies. … WR Odell Beckham Jr. tied with Hall of Famer Lance Alworth with 21 100-yard games receiving in first 50 career games. … WR Sterling Shepard had six catches for 80 yards and TD against Texans. … Rookies Lorenzo Carter and B.J.
