Overview
- The New Orleans Saints beat the New York Giants 34-27 on Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak and improve to 2-4.
- A 58-yard field goal by Daniel Carlson with 90 seconds left in the first half was followed immediately by Isaiah Stalbird forcing a kickoff fumble that Oscar Delp recovered, a sequence that flipped momentum into halftime.
- Tyler Shough threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score while finishing 16-of-30 for 144 yards and 32 rushing yards during New Orleans' 34-point surge.
- Giants backup J.J. McCarthy replaced Jameis Winston in the fourth quarter and threw for 243 yards in about 11 minutes, but his final fourth-and-1 pass in the last minute fell incomplete.
- The game produced multiple injuries, including Saints guard Cesar Ruiz leaving with a knee issue and Giants cornerback Greg Newsome being evaluated for a concussion, and New Orleans will travel next week to play the Pittsburgh Steelers in Paris.
