@AdamSchefter @Jeremeyfowler Harbaugh just bet the season on one quarter of football. 243 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, and that's McCarthy's entire 2026 resume.
Bold move or panic move? Every throw 👇

🎯 The Giants just handed J.J. McCarthy the keys.
His entire 2026 resume is one 4th quarter: 243 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
Nabers caught 4 of 5 for 95. Likely caught the TD.
Every throw 👇
Real QB1, or one hot quarter?

@AdamSchefter @Jeremeyfowler J.J. McCarthy. Winston has 957 passing yards across 5 games this season, and McCarthy gets 243 yards in 2 games and gets the job. That's a big bet on a small sample

@AdamSchefter @Jeremeyfowler I do no think there is a Giant fan that watched at least highlights of the last game that is surprised about this.
