Yahoo Sports NFL on J.J. McCarthy

McCarthy's week-to-week preparation mindset enabled strong fourth-quarter performance.

McCarthy's preparation and mindset entering the game positioned him to perform at a high level despite limited first-team reps. McCarthy stated: "I think just the over-preparation — just making sure that each and every week, even when I got here when we were playing Arizona, I went into the game with the mindset that I could play the whole game. So, just being able to really put myself in that position Monday through Saturday is something that helped me out today." This reflects McCarthy's readiness to step in as the Giants navigate the void left by injured starter Jaxson Dart's season-jeopardizing knee surgery.
