11 Oct
Summary
- J.J. McCarthy debuted for the Giants on October 11th.
- Both McCarthy and Jameis Winston saw playing time.

The New York Giants utilized a two-quarterback approach in their Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders, a strategy that saw both Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy take the field.
This game marked McCarthy's official debut with the Giants, having been acquired via trade in late September. He entered as the primary backup to Winston, who had been filling in as the starter due to an earlier injury to Jaxson Dart.
McCarthy participated in four snaps over the first three and a half quarters. He made two pass attempts and two runs, but both completions were nullified by penalties, leaving him with no official statistics for his first appearance.
