Jameis Winston benched as Giants turn to J.J. McCarthy

Jameis Winston has been benched by the Giants, just 23 days after being traded from the Vikings. This decision follows a performance where Winston completed 14 of 26 passes for 152 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions in a game that ended with the Giants trailing 34-10. J.J. McCarthy will start next as the Giants’ third quarterback this season, after Jaxson Dart's season-ending injury. Winston expressed understanding of the switch and reflected on his role as a backup in the league.
