McCarthy took over as Giants QB after Jameis Winston threw his second interception early in the fourth quarter against New Orleans, leading three touchdown drives to get within seven points in the final minute. He threw for 243 yards in just over 11 minutes, including a TD pass to Isaiah Likely after getting picked off on his first possession. His 243 passing yards tied Eli Manning's franchise record for most by a Giants QB in a fourth-quarter comeback situation over at least the past 35 years. Coach Harbaugh said McCarthy 'came in there and did a heck of a job given the circumstances: kind of desperation time' and 'made some plays and gave us a chance at the end to win the game,' though the Giants lost 34-27.
