Overview

  • Jameis Winston led the Giants to a win over the Arizona Cardinals, completing 18 of 29 passes for 250 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.
  • The win improved New York's record to 3-1 and has temporarily quieted public calls to replace Winston after uneven early performances.
  • Winston publicly dismissed benching rumors and said he is grateful for the chance to start for the Giants.
  • The team acquired J.J. McCarthy from Minnesota as roster insurance; he was in uniform for the Cardinals game but did not play as he begins to learn New York’s offense.
  • ESPN reporter Jordan Raanan and other insiders say McCarthy is expected to climb the depth chart as he acclimates, making the coming weeks a performance window for Winston.
