Overview

  • A Giants Videos (SNY) clip from Nov. 26 captured Winston detailing his holiday favorites, drawing broad social-media attention and national coverage.
  • He highlighted his wife's kale collard greens with a New Orleans Creole dressing and said relatives ship gumbo to start the day.
  • Winston credited Taysom Hill for introducing him to Uncle Ray’s turkey, calling the shipped bird “succulent,” “juicy,” and “spicy.”
  • The viral remarks came after Week 12, when Winston threw for 366 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and also caught a 33-yard touchdown against the Lions.
  • Despite the individual surge and a 517-yard offensive output, New York fell to 2-10 in an overtime loss and was reported to be the first team eliminated from playoff contention.
