  "account": "After a hard-fought victory over the Tennessee Titans at MetLife Stadium, the New York Giants maintained their decision to keep Jameis Winston at quarterback, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Harbaugh firmly stated that the team's plans remained unchanged and that they would do everything in their power to strengthen the team with the options they have. Harbaugh praised Winston's performance in the game, emphasizing that he had executed his duties as required and that the focus should now be on reaching his full potential and achieving the impossible. Winston's performance in the game was criticized, especially after replacing Jaxson Dart last Monday night. The Giants were unprepared for Winston's sudden arrival in Week 2, and the weather played a role in both the team's game plan and Winston's ability to perform effectively. Despite Harbaugh not being part of the decision to sign Winston in 2025, he was involved in the extension agreement before the current season. Jake Haener currently serves as Winston's backup. Reports indicated that the Giants were exploring quarterback options, a statement Winston seemed comfortable with. Winston needs to focus on improving his performance and forming a strong connection with the Giants' weapons if the team hopes to secure more victories. As the Giants prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals next week, Winston must continue to adapt and strengthen his game to help the team achieve success.",
  "summary": "Although the New York Giants are expected to add a quarterback (or two) this week, they intend to stick with Jameis Winston as their starter.",
