When that lead was most under threat, the Giants needing to extend a drive late in the fourth quarter to keep Dallas from getting the ball back down by eight, Dart went to Likely on third-and-9 and then a second time on third-and-3.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Likely targeted in critical moments; Dart's security blanket on third downs late.

Likely was heavily targeted in critical moments throughout the game. He was targeted on a second-quarter drive that ended in a touchdown, caught a pass on a 55-yard, six-play drive to end the first half with his first touchdown, and was targeted in the red zone on a 12-play drive for his second touchdown. Late in the fourth quarter when the Giants needed to extend a drive to keep Dallas from getting the ball back down by eight, Dart went to Likely on third-and-9 and then again on third-and-3, establishing him as the security blanket for Dart.
