Cardinals to keep an eye on
RB Jeremiyah Love – After easing the rookie in during his first two NFL games, the Cardinals relied heavily on the No. 3 overall pick last week. And Love delivered. The 21-year-old took 21 carries for 90 yards (4.3 avg.) and added five receptions for 19 yards and a touchdown. In last week’s game against the 49ers, Love generated 1.7 yards before contact per carry as he was hit at or behind the line of scrimmage on a season-low 28.6 percent of his runs, according to Next Gen Stats.
TE Trey McBride – McBride serves as Jacoby Brissett’s top option in the passing game. The athletic tight end leads the team with 26 receptions for 211 yards and two touchdowns, one year after finishing second in the NFL with 126 receptions. McBride has aligned in the slot on 73.1 percent of his routes this season and has been targeted on 32.9 percent of those plays, the fourth-highest rate among all pass-catchers this year. He has caught 19 of his 25 slot targets for 162 yards, both of which lead all tight ends, along with one touchdown, per NGS.
WR Michael Wilson – Wilson saw double digit targets in five of his last eight games in 2025 before seeing seven targets in each of the first two weeks this season. That changed in Week 3, as the fourth-year wideout led the team with 17 targets, of which he caught 11 of them for 89 yards and a touchdown. His 26.3 percent target rate thus far is the highest of his young NFL career.
S Budda Baker – The eight-time Pro Bowl safety does a little bit of everything for the Cardinals’ defense. Through three games, Baker has totaled 20 tackles (12 solo), 1.5 sacks, two quarterback hits and a pass defensed. After allowing six receptions for 117 yards and two touchdowns in Week 2, Baker surrendered just one reception for one yard last week, although the lone catch did go for a touchdown, according to Pro Football Focus.
Stats & milestones to know
RB Cam Skattebo generated a season-high 74 yards after contact against the Titans last week, which was the second-most of his young career. Meanwhile, his 30.0 percent forced missed tackle rate was the third-highest single-game rate of his career.
OL Sisi Mauigoa has surrendered just four total pressures on 97 pass block snaps, tied for the fewest among all rookies with 40+ pass block snaps. Mauigoa is credited with zero sacks allowed on the season.
S Jevón Holland is one of just two players with at least three interceptions, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in the first three games of the season. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, Holland is the only Giant in the last 30 years to force at least four turnovers in the first three games of a season. His four total takeaways lead all NFL players and are more than the total amount of takeaways of 18 different teams entering Week 4.
LB Arvell Reese has registered 24 tackles without any misses, according to Next Gen Stats. He is one of six players and the only rookie this season to make 100 percent of his tackles (minimum 20 tackles).
P Jordan Stout is the first punter in Giants history to have multiple punts of 70 or more yards in the same season, and he did it in back-to-back games in the first month of the season.
K Dominic Zvada last week became the sixth rookie to make all of his field goal attempts and account for all points scored in a win in the Super Bowl Era. Zvada is now perfect on six attempts this season in addition to four extra points.
