J.J. McCarthy replaces Jameis Winston as the Giants’ quarterback late against the Saints

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — In a stunning late turn of events, J.J. McCarthy became the New York Giants' starting quarterback on Sunday, stepping in for Jameis Winston who had thrown two interceptions. Winston had already been picked off by Julian Blackmon with the Giants trailing 34-10, and then was intercepted again by Martin Emerson who replaced the injured Kool-Aid McKinstry.

Winston managed 14 completions on 26 attempts for 152 yards and a touchdown pass, but his two turnovers proved costly for the Giants. McCarthy entered the game and threw an interception on his fourth pass.
