Yahoo Sports NFL on J.J. McCarthy

McCarthy's aggressive final throws and failed QB keeper sealed loss to Commanders.

McCarthy threw deep on his final two passes with 40 seconds remaining and needing only a field goal from the Washington 48-yard line; the second pass intended for Malik Nabers was intercepted by Rasul Douglas to seal the Giants' 24-21 loss. McCarthy explained his decision: 'My thought process was pop it up to my playmakers, have them go make a play.' Later in the game, McCarthy was also stopped on a designed QB keeper on third-and-3, a play that prompted another Giants punt during their offensive stagnation down the stretch.
