J.J. McCarthy completed 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards with no turnovers in his first start for the New York Giants. The Giants beat the Houston Texans in overtime. McCarthy had earlier appeared in relief against the Saints. The Giants opened with a nine-play, 66-yard touchdown drive. McCarthy completed all three of his passes for 52 yards on that drive, and Malik Nabers made a 42-yard catch. The New York Post reported that running backs powered the Giants to the overtime upset and that Cam Skattebo was back to back-flipping. CONTESTED: none found. No outlet disputes the final result, McCarthy's 20-of-28 for 252 yards with no turnovers, or the opening-drive figures.
