Jameis Winston threw three touchdown passes, leading the New York Giants to a 36-24 win against the Arizona Cardinals on October 4, 2026. The victory came with a late 98-yard interception return for a touchdown by Deonte Banks, sealing the game in the closing seconds. Winston's 18 completions for 250 yards included TD passes to Malachi Fields, Malik Nabers, and Theo Johnson.
