Isaiah Likely caught 11-of-13 targets for 94 yards and two touchdown in the Giants’ Week 5 tie with the Commanders
Likely set a new career-high with 11 receptions in this one, and came up with two clutch touchdowns in the process. His first score came on a three-yard strike from Jameis Winston on a third-and-goal play that the Giants needed to stay in the game, cutting the Commanders’ lead to 19-13. Then, in the fourth quarter and with the Giants facing a fourth-and-eight, Likely turned an eight-yard reception upfield for a 17-yard touchdown that nearly looked like a fumble and turnover at the goal-line. Likely has been targeted 25 times in his last two games and has now gone for 66 or more yards in three of five games to start the season. He’s starting to show good chemistry with Jameis Winston and will be on the TE1 radar in next week’s game against the Saints.
