Jaxson Dart went 12 of 19 for 154 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut, Russell Wilson completed 6 of 7 passes on the opening drive, and New York’s offensive line held Buffalo to zero sacks across 51 total dropbacks as the Giants beat the Bills 34-25 at Highmark Stadium on August 9, 2025. Graham Gano converted all three field goals — from 53, 50, and 51 yards — and a Trace Ford fumble recovery with two minutes remaining ended any chance of a Bills comeback.

Running back Ray Davis handled the point-after attempt following Dawson Knox’s second-quarter touchdown. Buffalo had signed Caden Davis the day before kickoff after starting kicker Tyler Bass was ruled out with a pelvis injury.

Ford recovered a fumble on an errant snap in Bills territory with 2:11 remaining in the fourth quarter. Tommy DeVito then hit Jonathan Ward for an 8-yard touchdown three plays later to make it a two-score game.
Interceptions
No interceptions were recorded by either team.
The Giants finished with 396 total yards on 76 plays, held the ball for more than 36 minutes, and went the full 60 without a turnover. Wilson, Dart, Winston, and DeVito combined for a 104.8 passer rating on zero interceptions across 51 dropbacks — and did it without a sack allowed. For a team that ranked 30th in the NFL in yards per play and 31st in scoring during the 2024 season, the August 9 performance in Orchard Park was exactly the kind of clean slate they needed.
Statistics sourced from ESPN, NFL.com, and the Associated Press. All figures reflect final official box score data. This was a 2025 NFL preseason contest; statistics do not count toward regular-season totals.
Elizabeth J. Luna founded Sports Player Stats in Los Angeles in April 2026, after close to two decades covering sport professionally across Europe and the United States. She grew up in Sweden, where football was less a hobby than a household religion, and carried that obsession west when she relocated to Los Angeles in her twenties. The NFL took hold quickly. So did the NBA. Eventually she was covering both alongside FIFA, cricket, MLB, hockey, and the WNBA, which tells you something about the kind of sports journalist she is. Her work has always started with match data and player statistics, not because numbers are the whole story, but because in her experience they are usually the most honest part of it. She launched Sports Player Stats because she wanted a publication that took every sport seriously on its own terms, one where a cricket innings and an NBA box score received the same standard of analysis. That standard is what she shows up to defend every day.
