Several Giants enter Week 18 with some impressive milestones within reach. Let’s start on offense, where wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson has already put together a career season. The fourth-year wideout has set new career-highs with his 1,014 receiving yards, four receiving touchdowns and 11.0 yards per reception, and he news only two more receptions to set a new career-best of 94. Robinson also needs eight more receptions to reach 100 on the season, which would make him only the fourth player in franchise history to have 100+ receptions in a season.
I discussed Dart above, but his 22 total touchdowns leads the 2025 rookie class. With one more score on the ground, he would join Cam Newton as the only rookies with 10+ passing touchdowns and 10+ rushing touchdowns. Dart trails only Charlie Conerly (27) and Daniel Jones (26) for the most total touchdowns in Giants history by a rookie quarterback with one game remaining.
On the defensive side of the ball, outside linebacker Brian Burns was selected to the Pro Bowl for the third time in his career and the first during his time with the Giants. That should come as no surprise as his 16.5 sacks leads the NFC and trails only Cleveland’s Myles Garrett. Burns has already tied Jason Pierre-Paul for the fourth-most sacks in a single season by a Giant, and if he can get two more on Sunday, he would tie Michael Strahan for the third-most. Meanwhile, Burns’ 30 quarterback hits are tied with Leonard Williams (2020) for the most by any Giant since the stat began being tracked in 2006.
Linebacker Bobby Okereke’s 137 total tackles this season are the fifth-most by a Giant in franchise history. While 15 tackles in the final game might be a stretch, Okereke would set the new Giants record with 152 on the season if he can do it.
Additionally, Carter (4.5) and defensive lineman Darius Alexander (3.5) both rank inside the top six among rookies in sacks.
It’s been a busy week already for the Cowboys, who made a bit of a surprising move on Tuesday when they announced the release of former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs, who played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in last week’s win over the Commanders. However, it was only his eighth game played of the season. After being named to back-to-back Pro Bowls in 2021 and 2022, Diggs has played in just 21 total games over the last three seasons.
Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones went on his final weekly Tuesday radio show on 105.3 The Fan and confirmed quarterback Dak Prescott will start on Sunday. While he will start the game, Jones indicated that Prescott may not play the whole game.
“How we use Dak, where we use him, those kinds of things, let’s just make that a part of the game plan that we won’t talk about.” Jones said.
Heading into the final week, Prescott leads the league with 4,482 pass yards in 2025. No Cowboys quarterback has ever led the NFL in pass yards in a season, according to NFL Research.
If/when Prescott is removed from the game, the Giants will see quarterback Joe Milton in action for the first time. The second-year quarterback has appeared in three games this season, his first in Dallas, and has completed eight of 11 passes for 110 yards, one touchdown and one interception. While playing 95.3 percent of the offensive snaps in last year’s season finale while with the Patriots, Milton completed over 75 percent of his passes for 241 yards and a touchdown while adding another score on the ground.
