Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 18 Oct, 22:01 · Archive

New Orleans rallied from a 10-point deficit to defeat the Giants 34-27 at MetLife Stadium, snapping a three-game losing streak.

The New Orleans Saints rallied from a 10-point deficit to defeat the NFC East-leading New York Giants 34-27 at MetLife Stadium on 18 October, ending a three-game losing streak that had drawn public criticism from owner Gayle Benson.

The Giants scored the first 10 points, but the Saints responded with 34 unanswered points. The Giants then scored 17 points in the final seven minutes before being stopped on fourth down at the Saints' 12-yard line, as backup quarterback J.J. McCarthy's pass glanced off tight end Isaiah Likely's fingertips in the end zone.

Saints quarterback Tyler Shough threw three touchdown passes and ran for another touchdown. His final touchdown pass went to Chris Olave for 18 yards with 11:31 remaining. Shough has played with two broken bones in his left hand since being injured on 5 October against Atlanta. Running back Alvin Kamara scored on a 31-yard touchdown reception that gave him 5,000 yards receiving and 5,000 yards rushing in his career, making him the sixth player to achieve that feat. Christian McCaffrey is the only other active member of this group.

The Saints (2-4) next face the Pittsburgh Steelers at Stade de France in Saint-Denis on 25 October in the first NFL game held in France.
