The Giants just won a game with ZERO passing touchdowns, and JJ McCarthy still gave them exactly what they needed.
There’s a lot to like about who showed up in this 27–21 win.
Cam Skattebo went for 124 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, then ripped off a 42-yard run in overtime. THAT is the difference he can make when you get the running game going.
Malik Nabers caught seven passes for 111 yards. Another big game, but this time he had some real help.
Malachi Fields FINALLY broke out of the two-catch routine. Six straight games with exactly two catches, then four for 83 today. We’ve been asking for another young receiver to give this offense something. That’s a pretty damn good response.
JJ finished 20-of-28 for 252 yards with no interceptions in his first Giants start. He put the ball at the 2 and the 1 on completions that set up first-half touchdowns. The passing TD column doesn’t tell that story.
And how about Devin Singletary? Five carries, 41 yards, and a 30-yard WALK-OFF touchdown. Skattebo got them going in overtime. Singletary finished it.
Micah McFadden deserves his love, too: 10 tackles, all solo, two tackles for loss and a QB hit. He was involved in the three-and-out that gave the offense its overtime chance.
188 rushing yards. FOUR rushing touchdowns. Fields giving you a second 80-yard receiver alongside Nabers.
Give me more of THIS. More guys contributing instead of asking the same two players to rescue every drive.
