🔮 If the player went down, the final score would have been 30-24 and that would have been just fine for the home team.
🔮 Either safety will have his hands full with McBride, who is not a physical mismatch but can be a skill-set nightmare to deal with.
🔮 Will it be there Sunday against the Cardinals, who are 1-2 but are averaging 21 points a game?
🔮 That prevented what would have been a desultory collapse in a game in which backup-turned-starting quarterback Jameis Winston did nothing to convince anyone the offense is in good hands with him at the controls.
🔮 McCarthy joins a quarterback room devoid of Jaxson Dart — out for the season following knee surgery — and he will learn the playbook as Jameis Winston continues to start.
🔮 If Winston plays terribly, a move must be made, and that move could not be Jake Haener (one NFL start) as QB2.
🔮 SIGN UP NOW“I would have lost it if we lost this game,’’ right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor said.
🔮 Sure, the weather was not conducive for long-range throws but there were enough throws by Jameis Winston that could have been completed that he failed to deliver.
🔮 Could that change Sunday in the rain at MetLife Stadium when the Giants face the Titans?
🔮 If the Giants are going to be embroiled in close games, a kick or two could be the difference between winning and losing.
