Giants Reveal Arvell Reese Warning to Joe Milton III
The rookie linebacker also forced a fumble as New York’s defense logged seven sacks and held Philadelphia to 11 points.
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, New York Giants rookie linebacker Arvell Reese recorded three sacks in a 19-11 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, strengthening the team's lead atop the NFC East.
Giants defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson has transformed the unit by deploying Reese as a versatile playmaker who can rush the passer or drop into coverage, maximizing his defensive impact.
Reese, who has 68 tackles and 4.5 sacks through eight games, recorded the fastest sack-fumble in the NFL this season at 2.29 seconds, with head coach John Harbaugh noting, 'He knows what's going on.'
At 21 years and 70 days old, Reese became the youngest player in NFL history to record three sacks in a single game, a milestone that reinforces the Giants' 5-2-1 record atop the NFC East.
The Giants enter Thursday's game against Washington with the NFL's fifth-best defense, a dramatic improvement from last season when the team ranked 28th out of 32 teams while finishing 4-13.
