The Giants will be starting their third different QB this season when J.J. McCarthy faces the Houston Texans on Sunday. Giants beat writer Evan Barnes reports.

In retrospect, this wasn't much of a choice. McCarthy fits the team's offensive philosophy a lot better than Jameis Winston.

Rock: It's J.J. McCarthy's turn for the Giants — and it's the right call

In his NFL debut in 2025 with the Vikings, McCarthy won NFC Offensive Player of the Week due to his dominant fourth quarter. But then the season turned on him. Could something similar happen in New York?

J.J. McCarthy was great in relief for the Giants, but does that mean he should start?

The Giants will be looking to pick up their fourth win of the season on Sunday against the Saints. Newsday's Evan Barnes reports.

'A great sign going into the Saints game'

Cam Skattebo played six snaps and didn't touch the ball after his fumble last week; the Giants' other three running backs had a combined 34 yards Sunday.

Will anyone step up and become the Giants' lead back?
