RecapIsaiah Likely caught 9-of-11 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown in the Giants’ Week 10 loss to the Commanders.
Likely as clearly the going-in game plan in a game expected to be heavily influenced by weather. The rain cleared in the first half but Likely remained the featured option through the air, likely influenced by heavy blitz rates and unrelenting pressure from the Washington defense. The 11-target game was the fifth time this season that the veteran tight end hit double-digit targets but the first time doing so with J.J. McCarthy under center. Likely remains a surefire TE1 ahead of a difficult matchup against the Jaguars in Week 11.
