Winston throws 3 touchdown passes and Banks’ pick-6 seals Giants’ 36-24 win over Cardinals

In a not-so-pretty game, the New York Giants emerged victorious against the Arizona Cardinals with a score of 36-24 on Sunday. Jameis Winston, who made his second start in lieu of injured franchise quarterback Jaxson Dart, threw three touchdown passes to Malachi Fields, Malik Nabers, and Theo Johnson. Winston's 12-yard pass to Fields in the second quarter marked the team's first touchdown since the season opener, ending a nine-plus quarter drought.

The Giants' defense also contributed to the win, sacking Brissett twice and recovering after allowing two long touchdown drives in the first 10 minutes. Deonte Banks added to the Giants' win with a 98-yard pick-6 in the final seconds, sealing the 36-24 victory. Arizona's J.J. McCarthy was in uniform six days after the Giants acquired him in a trade with Minnesota but did not play.

Marcus Peters was in uniform but did not play. The defense also made some key plays, rebounding from allowing two long touchdown drives in the first 10 minutes. The Cardinals, on the other hand, started the game on a high note with a 14-3 lead but struggled to maintain it, finishing the game with just 138 yards. Rookie linebacker Arvell Reese made a significant impact with his first interception of the NFL season and nine tackles.

Arizona's Lawrence Taylor, a Hall of Famer, was in attendance for the 40th anniversary celebration of the 1986 Super Bowl championship team at halftime and praised rookie linebacker Arvell Reese, calling him a "good player."
