Topeka, KS, October 18, 2026 —
J.J. McCarthy took over at quarterback for the New York Giants in the fourth quarter of their game against New Orleans on Sunday, replacing Jameis Winston after Winston threw two interceptions. McCarthy then led the Giants on three scoring drives, according to the available account.
The change came late in the game, with McCarthy entering after Winston’s two turnovers. The account does not provide the score or say how much time remained when the quarterback switch occurred. It also does not specify how the three scoring drives ended, how many points the Giants scored on them or whether the team won the game.
No further details were provided about McCarthy’s individual statistics, the length of the drives or the plays that led to the scores. The account also does not identify the date of the Sunday game. It describes the sequence of events but does not provide comments from McCarthy, Winston, the Giants or the team’s coaches.
The reported sequence is limited to the quarterback change and what followed: Winston threw two interceptions, McCarthy entered in the fourth quarter and the Giants put together three scoring drives with him at quarterback. Without a final score or additional game details, the broader result and circumstances of the performance are not available.
