Winston, McCarthy combine to lead Giants to 19-11 win and hand Eagles 7th straight loss

Philadelphia (AP) — Jameis Winston played a pivotal role in the New York Giants' 19-11 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, securing the win and marking the Eagles' seventh straight loss. The Giants (5-2-1) held onto their first place position in the NFC East, while the Eagles (2-7) are on their longest losing streak since a similar 2012 season.

J.J. McCarthy, the injured starter, was replaced by Winston in the third quarter, who threw a game-tying touchdown pass and later added a crucial 5-yard TD pass to Isaiah Likely, leading to a 13-8 lead for the Giants. McCarthy returned for the final play of the third quarter, completing 12 of 19 passes for 127 yards, though no touchdowns or interceptions.

The Eagles, who have suffered through multiple quarterback changes due to injuries and performance issues, struggled to match the Giants' effort, with Tanner McKee and Joe Milton each contributing little to the team's offense. Saquon Barkley's 3-yard touchdown run early in the game set the tone for the Giants, while Malikii Fields and Isaiah Likely both scored for the Giants, sealing the victory with field goals from Dominic Zvada.
