Giants exorcise Philly demons in win over Eagles after J.J. McCarthy injury scare

The New York Giants snapped a 13-game losing streak at Lincoln Financial Field by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 19-11 on Sunday. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy briefly left the game with a hip pointer after taking a heavy hit in the third quarter. Backup quarterback Jameis Winston took over to lead a go-ahead 76-yard drive, which was capped by a five-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely to give the Giants a 13-8 lead.

McCarthy later returned to the game and converted a crucial third-down scramble to help set up one of Dominic Zvada's four field goals. Defensively, the Giants recorded seven sacks against Eagles quarterback Joe Milton III, with rookie Arvell Reese securing three. The victory moved the first-place Giants to a 5-2-1 record, while dropping the Eagles to 2-7.
