Heroes, zeros from Giants’ loss to Saints: Tyler Shough does it all

October 19, 2026

The New Orleans Saints' Tyler Shough delivered a standout performance in a 34-27 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday, extending his strong start since entering the league just one year ago. Shough accounted for four total touchdowns—three through the air and one on the ground—while adding 144 passing yards, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities as a rookie.

The Giants' offensive ground game, meanwhile, completely stalled, with no player contributing meaningfully beyond a handful of carries. Running backs Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary, and Najee Harris combined for just 34 yards on 14 attempts, while Cam Skattebo was sidelined for the entire game due to ball-security concerns.

On defense, Saints cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. dominated, recording two interceptions and nearly a third before a replay review overturned the call, along with 1.5 tackles for loss in seven stops.

The Giants' defense, which had held the Saints scoreless for the first 28 minutes, collapsed in the final quarter, allowing 17 straight points as New Orleans pulled away.
