McCarthy returns from hip injury to lead game-winning drive with gutsy scramble

McCarthy returned from a hip injury sustained in the third quarter to lead a crucial field-goal drive in the fourth quarter, including a gutsy 11-yard scramble on third-and-10 from the Giants' 42-yard line that set up a 38-yard field goal. McCarthy said of the play: 'It was a big first down and getting it with my legs, by (any) means. We were doing whatever we can to win this game, and that was obviously a big play where I needed to step up, and I'm happy we did that.' His willingness to play through pain exemplified the Giants' gritty approach.
