What to know

  • Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee injury forced the Giants to hand the offense to veteran backup Jameis Winston.
  • Winston's first start produced an ugly but decisive 12-7 win over the winless Titans, his first as a starter since December 2024.
  • Coach John Harbaugh publicly committed to Winston as QB1 even as the Giants pursue additional quarterback help amid trade speculation.
  • Analysts note Harbaugh's praise was lukewarm and questions about the Giants' long-term quarterback plan remain unresolved.

“Probably the biggest thing is -- one of the things with this offense when we first got started is we wanted to be able to be prepared to have multiple styles of offense.”
