Overview

  • New York is 2-8 and fired head coach Brian Daboll after last week’s loss, with offensive coordinator Mike Kafka elevated to interim coach.
  • Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart is in the concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Week 11.
  • Kafka selected Winston to face Green Bay at MetLife Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on FOX instead of turning back to Russell Wilson.
  • Winston’s pregame X post quoting Proverbs 21:31 drew millions of views and prompted fan jokes about a high-variance performance.
  • The 11th-year QB signed a two-year deal with New York and had been QB3; he last started in 2024 for Cleveland, throwing 12 interceptions in six starts.
