TL;DR
- Coach John Harbaugh credited his players, including J.J. McCarthy and Cam Skattebo, and 'Lord God in heaven' for the Giants' overtime win against the Texans.
- Cam Skattebo rushed for a career-high 124 yards and scored a touchdown, playing with 'fierce joy' despite being benched the previous week.
- Skattebo was flagged for unnecessary roughness on a run where he lowered his head, a penalty that drew historical comparisons to legendary running backs.
- J.J. McCarthy, named the starting quarterback days prior, completed 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards with no interceptions or fumbles in his first win as a starter.
- The Giants are the only team in the NFC East with a winning record, and this win, with contributions from young players, suggests their relevance for the season.
