“I don’t know how any of you could have a question after yesterday, unbelievable. I was OK until that guy came over in the Adventureman suit and the other guy who had the number and leather helmet. Actually, that guy looked pretty good in that helmet. That was a little shaky.” Tom Coughlin on media day

GIANTS: It's no secret New York has struggled running the football (83.8 yards per game, 28th overall through five weeks). The last time the Giants finished a season outside the top 20 in rushing was 2003, when they were also 28th (97.4).
NFC EAST: Say what you want about this "disappointing" division, but these teams get after the QB. Philadelphia is tops in the NFL in sacks per pass attempt — 11 percent of opponents' passing plays result in sacks. Washington is second (10.6%), New York is third (9.7%) and Dallas ranks sixth (8.8%)
LIONS/49ERS: Detroit and San Francisco enter their Week 6 matchup with combined records of 9-1. A year ago at this time, the two teams were a combined 1-9.
49ERS: San Francisco's offense jumped from last place to 27th overall (300.2 yards per game) — nearly a 90-yard improvement in just two weeks.
GIANTS: Eli Manning ranks third in the NFL in QB rating with a 105.6. He sits behind Aaron Rodgers (124.6) and Tom Brady (111.3). Manning has never finished a season higher than 11th (93.1 in 2009).
49ERS: San Francisco's offense ranks dead last in yards per game with 213.7 — more than 130 yards lower than the NFL average. The 49ers haven't finished higher than 23rd in that category since 2003, and were last in 2005, 2007.
CARDINALS: Arizona ranks 27th in the league in net yards allowed per game (397.7). Their Week 4 opponents, the Giants, haven't gained that many net yards in a single game yet this season.
