J.J. McCarthy, who helped spark a late run that fell short. He looked more comfortable and took command of the offense better than he did in Minnesota. But the Giants were in scramble mode down 34-10 at that point, so J.J. had little pressure to be perfect.

McCarthy sparks late rally; showed more upside than Winston in limited action.

McCarthy helped spark a late run for the Giants after John Harbaugh benched Jameis Winston, looking more comfortable and taking command of the offense better than he did in Minnesota; though he was lucky to throw only one INT (could have easily been three) and the Giants were in scramble mode down 34-10, McCarthy showed more upside than Winston and may get a shot to start Week 7 against Houston.
