Summary
J.J. McCarthy won his first start for New York after being named QB1 on Wednesday, guiding an overtime victory over Houston with a 20-of-28, 252-yard, turnover-free outing.
Cam Skattebo drove the win with a career-high 124 rushing yards, a 16-yard touchdown and a 42-yard overtime burst that set up Devin Singletary’s game-ending TD on the next play.
John Harbaugh praised both young playmakers after the game, calling it a "player's win" and saying Skattebo answered last week's benching with "fierce joy."
The result strengthens a Giants team adjusting after Jaxson Dart's injury and McCarthy's arrival 27 days ago in a trade from Minnesota.
New York now stands as the NFC East's only team with a winning record, reinforcing Harbaugh's view that the Giants can stay in the race.
