In his first start as a New York Giant, quarterback J.J. McCarthy led his team to a 27-21 road victory against the Houston Texans. Writer Nick Falato of Big Blue View argues that McCarthy looked like the real deal, highlighting his poise, velocity, and ball placement. McCarthy completed 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards while being sacked three times, helping New York generate 420 yards of total offense.
