The veteran became just the second Giants quarterback ever to complete over 73 percent of his passes on 40+ pass attempts, joining Manning, who accomplished the feat six times.
Wilson did a lot of his damage on the deep ball as he went 7 of 11 on deep passes for 264 yards (most in a game by any quarterback in the NFL since at least 2016, according to Next Gen Stats) and all three of his touchdowns.
The 36-year-old had an average target depth of 14.1 yards, according to Pro Football Focus, as he went 12 of 18 (66.7 percent) for 332 yards on throws 10 or more yards downfield.
Wilson had a career-high 153 yards in the first quarter alone, the most by a Giants quarterback since 1978.
Heading into Monday Night Football, Wilson leads the NFL with 618 passing yards on the season.
