Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy was forced to leave the game in the third quarter after taking a hit from Eagles linebacker Zack Baun. After the contact, McCarthy went to the sideline, knelt in obvious discomfort, and later headed to the locker room for further evaluation. The Giants have not issued an official statement regarding his condition.
Winston entered the contest on the Giants' first possession of the third quarter, replacing McCarthy. The team subsequently punted the ball. McCarthy had completed 9 of 13 passes for 101 yards and was sacked five times in the first half. The Eagles led 8-6 with just over ten minutes remaining in the third quarter.
