EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — When J.J. McCarthy was thrust onto the field Sunday, he had never thrown a live pass to New York Giants teammate Malik Nabers.
He had never thrown more than a sideline or warmup ball to tight end Isaiah Likely.
Three weeks ago, McCarthy had never even heard a Giants play-call.
So when he took his first snap under center with 11:25 to play in the fourth quarter, the Giants trailing by 24 thanks in large part to three turnovers, McCarthy seemed more likely to continue the hole-digging than reverse trend.
An interception on his fourth pass furthered that theory.
