Winston’s First Giants Start Ends With Costly Red-Zone Pick in 27–20 Loss to Packers

The loss refocuses the Giants on Jaxson Dart’s concussion recovery to clarify the quarterback plan.

Overview

  • Winston went 19-for-29 for 201 yards with 10 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in his season debut as starter.
  • His end-zone throw to Jalin Hyatt was intercepted after the receiver cut his route short, a mistake Hyatt publicly accepted.
  • Green Bay took the late lead on Jordan Love’s second touchdown pass to Christian Watson followed by a two-point conversion to make it 27–20.
  • The game was Mike Kafka’s first as interim head coach, ending in New York’s fifth straight defeat and dropping the Giants to 2–9.
  • With the postseason out of reach, the Giants are prioritizing Dart’s return from concussion protocol as they evaluate the quarterback approach for the rest of the season.
