Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, November 13, 2026 — In his first home start as the New York Giants quarterback, J.J. McCarthy delivered a statistically strong performance. However, the promising outing was ultimately overshadowed by late-game developments that led to a loss against the Washington Commanders.

The sequence of events in the final minutes of the game ultimately led to the New York Giants being unable to secure a victory, marking a challenging end to what had been a statistically positive first home start for their quarterback.
