J.J. McCarthy, Cam Skattebo seize second chances as John Harbaugh's surprising Giants keep rolling

Under the guidance of John Harbaugh, the New York Giants pulled off a thrilling 27-21 overtime victory against the Houston Texans. Quarterback J.J.

McCarthy delivered a stellar performance in his maiden start for the franchise, passing for 252 yards without a single turnover while frequently connecting with Malik Nabers, who finished with seven receptions for 111 yards. Running back Cam Skattebo also bounced back strongly from a recent benching following a costly fumble, rushing for 124 yards and a touchdown.

Skattebo ignited the crucial late-game momentum by bursting forward for a 42-yard run, which stands as the longest rush of his professional career. That explosive gain directly paved the way for Devin Singletary to secure the game-winning touchdown in overtime.

Harbaugh praised the collective resilience of his squad following the hard-fought triumph, noting that the adversity revealed the true character of his players.
