McCarthy was fantastic in his first start. He finished 20 of 28 for 252 yards, and never put the ball in harm's way. His ability to get the ball down the field with velocity, his ability to move around in the pocket, and simply the threat of using him in the designed run game changes the Giants' offense.

McCarthy's first start (20-28, 252 yards) opens up Giants' playbook with deep ball threat.

McCarthy was 'fantastic' in his first start, completing 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards while never putting the ball in harm's way. The source highlights his ability to get the ball downfield with velocity, move around in the pocket, and his threat in the designed run game, which changes the Giants' offense. Head coach John Harbaugh said starting him against the Texans was the 'obvious choice,' and McCarthy 'absolutely made the coach right.' The Giants had five pass plays of at least 20 yards, including two of more than 40 yards, indicating McCarthy's impact on opening up the playbook.
