The Giants’ new quarterback throws for 252 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions, and all he cares about is going 1-0 as New York heads into the bye at 4-2-1.
The Giants’ new quarterback throws for 252 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions, and all he cares about is going 1-0 as New York heads into the bye at 4-2-1.
Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary combine for 72 yards on two overtime plays as the Giants beat Houston 27-21, and J.J. McCarthy impresses in his first start.
In his debut as the New York Giants starting quarterback, J.J. McCarthy showed poise and promise against the Texans in Week 7, while Devin Singletary delivered the game-winning run in OT.
The safety returns from a neck injury to help a banged-up secondary, while the Giants will be without right tackle Marcus Mbow against Houston’s pass rush.
New York sits atop the NFC East at 3-2-1, but a leaky run defense and a Houston team on the rise make this a tough test, even with J.J. McCarthy’s legs in the mix.
Adebo returns from injured reserve to start at cornerback, while Edmunds is lost for the season with a shoulder injury and Micah McFadden steps in at inside linebacker.
Skattebo, who has been dealing with fumbling issues, played just six offensive snaps in the 34-27 loss and says he understands the consequences of his mistakes.
McCarthy threw for 243 yards in relief of Jameis Winston, but New York’s run game, special teams and defense all faltered in a 34-27 loss to the Saints.
The Giants can win a fourth straight home game if they shore up the run defense and hold onto the ball against a Saints team trying to snap a three-game skid.
Jameis Winston forced overtime with three touchdowns, but a Cam Skattebo fumble and Washington’s time-management blunder left the Giants with a 27-27 tie.
