J.J. McCarthy, Jameis Winston showed Giants they are true fighters they can believe in
PHILADELPHIA — J.J. McCarthy was jogging off the field, his hip in need of an urgent examination in the bowels of the Linc.
The demons who had tortured and tormented the Giants every year here since 2013 had suddenly returned, and another agonizing bus ride on the Turnpike North hovered ominously over the New York Football Giants.
But these are John Harbaugh’s Giants, defiant and tough and tough-minded, long on fight and resilience and perseverance and all the precious intangibles that enable a team to find a way to win and end that ignominious 13-game streak here.
It was the backup quarterback, summoned to the huddle he had been forced to surrender weeks ago to McCarthy, directing a remarkable touchdown drive that gave the Giants a lead they would not relinquish.
