New Orleans Saints 26, New York Giants 14, Caesars Superdome, October 5, 2025
The New Orleans Saints snapped a four-game losing streak by beating a New York Giants team that could not hold onto the football. New Orleans won 26-14 at the Caesars Superdome on October 5, 2025, a Week 5 game the Giants gave away with five turnovers, one of them a fumble that safety Jordan Howden returned 86 yards for a touchdown. Spencer Rattler threw an 87-yard touchdown to Rashid Shaheed for his first win in eleven career starts, and Jaxson Dart passed for 202 yards and two touchdowns before throwing the first two interceptions of his career in the fourth quarter, both to cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry.
It was Kellen Moore’s first win as an NFL head coach, and it pulled New Orleans even with New York in their all-time series at 17-17. What follows is the complete New York Giants vs. New Orleans Saints match player stats from that Week 5 meeting: the scoring summary, team totals, and every passing, rushing, receiving, defensive and special-teams number from both rosters.

Neither team had a punt return in this game.
Moore got his first win as a head coach in the same building where he had called plays for a Super Bowl winner as Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator eight months earlier. Rattler got his in his eleventh career start, without giving the ball away once. And a Saints team that had opened its season 0-4 walked out of the Caesars Superdome tied with the Giants at 17-17 in a series that stretches back decades, having forced the game’s only five turnovers and let a rookie quarterback beat himself.
