In a decisive matchup, the New Orleans Saints topped the New York Giants 28-14 in Week 6 of the 2026 season. The Saints' victory solidifies their position in the playoff race, while the Giants will need to regroup as they face tough competition ahead.
Tyler Shough was the standout for the Saints, throwing for three touchdowns and leading the offense with poise. J.J. McCarthy put up impressive numbers for the Giants, finishing with 308 passing yards, but struggled to find the end zone. Isaiah Likely also made his mark, racking up 117 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback.
Defensively, the Saints were effective in key moments, with Kool-Aid McKinstry snagging an interception that shifted momentum in their favor. The turning point came when McCarthy's drive was halted in the second quarter, allowing Shough to capitalize with a touchdown pass shortly after. Jonas Sanker led the defensive effort for New Orleans, recording five tackles, essential in keeping the Giants' offense at bay.
