Isaiah Likely proves he’s as important as just about anyone to Giants offense

Tight end Isaiah Likely made an explosive debut for the New York Giants in their Week 1 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, establishing himself as a vital weapon in his very first appearance after signing a $40 million free-agent contract. The former Baltimore Ravens standout paced the offense across the board by securing eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns, helping power New York to an opening-week triumph.

The game also marked a successful debut for head coach John Harbaugh, as the Giants earned their first season-opening victory since 2022. Quarterback Jaxson Dart directed the offense with precision, completing 23 of his 29 throws for 230 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions, while adding 54 rushing yards on 11 attempts.
