The New Orleans Saints held off a fierce fourth-quarter comeback attempt to defeat the New York Giants 34-27 on Sunday, according to reports from the New York Post and NBC Sports. The Giants turned to quarterback J.J. McCarthy after benching starter Jameis Winston amid a stretch where New Orleans scored 34 unanswered points.
As detailed by NBC Sports, McCarthy entered the contest with under 12 minutes remaining and the Giants facing a 34-10 deficit. After tossing an interception on his opening drive, McCarthy orchestrated three scoring possessions that produced 17 points. He finished 11-of-21 through the air for 243 yards and a touchdown to tight end Isaiah Likely, but his fourth-down pass to Likely fell incomplete at the Saints' 14-yard line in the final minute.
The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for the Saints, who built their commanding lead behind three touchdown passes from Tyler Shough and 175 team rushing yards, according to NBC Sports. The loss moved the Giants to 3-2-1 on the season and intensified questions regarding Winston's status as the team's starting quarterback after he threw two interceptions prior to his removal.
