Jacoby Brissett and Jameis Winston meet as starting QBs as the Cardinals visit the Giants

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Jacoby Brissett and Jameis Winston, former college teammates, have met as starting quarterbacks as the Arizona Cardinals host the New York Giants. Brissett, the Cardinals' starting QB, has been their top choice since training camp, while Winston took over after Jaxson Dart suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Winston has managed to lead the Giants to a 2-1 record, but he acknowledges his tendency to throw interceptions and has struggled to score touchdowns. The Giants have bolstered their roster by acquiring J.J. McCarthy from Minnesota, but for now, Winston remains their starting quarterback. The Cardinals' 1-2 record features Brissett, Gardner Minshew, and rookie Carson Beck.

The Giants have recently signed McCarthy, but for now, Winston remains the starter. The Cardinals and Giants face off on Sunday at 1 p.m. EDT on CBS. The Giants have allowed 104.3 yards per game on the ground, while the Cardinals have a strong run defense. The matchup will be crucial for both teams, as Nick O'Leary, Brissett's college teammate, roots for the Giants and has high regard for Winston.
