People are losing their minds over J.J. McCarthy coming into a game in the fourth quarter, down by 24 points, and leading a feverish comeback that ultimately felt short... Kevin O'Connell's system wasn't right for McCarthy and that things are simplified in John Harbaugh's offense.

McCarthy's fourth-quarter heroics don't guarantee Giants success; system fit remains uncertain.

McCarthy came into a game in the fourth quarter down by 24 points and led a feverish comeback that fell short; the narrative forming is that Kevin O'Connell's system wasn't right for McCarthy and that things are simplified in John Harbaugh's offense. However, Lamar Jackson saw nothing on Sunday that leads to belief that McCarthy will find any more success in New York than he did in Minnesota, despite being traded to the Giants. McCarthy has historically thrived in the 4th quarter, but Lamar Jackson questions whether the system change will materially improve his performance.
