Saints Beat Giants Despite McCarthy’s Rally

The New Orleans Saints ended a three-game losing streak with a 34-27 win over the New York Giants, scoring 34 unanswered points after falling behind 10-0. Giants coach John Harbaugh benched Jameis Winston after his two interceptions in the fourth quarter, and J.J. McCarthy—acquired from Minnesota for a 2027 fifth-round pick—threw for 243 yards and a touchdown while leading three scoring drives; his comeback attempt ended at the Saints’ 14-yard line, and he also threw an interception. McCarthy’s passing total was the most by a Giants non-starting quarterback since 1961, intensifying the debate over who should start in Week 7 with Jaxson Dart out for the season with a knee injury. Harbaugh did not immediately name a starter, saying the team would decide after further evaluation; Cam Skattebo had no carries as New York struggled to run the ball. The Giants fell to 3-2-1 but remained atop the NFC East.
