McCarthy's 252 yards and dual-threat ability spark Giants' 27-21 OT upset of Texans

In his first start with John Harbaugh, McCarthy threw for 252 yards and orchestrated a dominant offensive performance (420 total yards, 5.5 yards per carry average) against Houston's third-ranked run defense. His two 40+ yard passing plays in the first quarter softened the box, and his athletic ability on read plays—particularly the threat of his legs—kept edge rushers honest and opened running lanes for touchdowns by Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Cam Skattebo.
