J.J. McCarthy and the New York Giants got a win on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. It adds to his otherworldly 8-4 career record. Then again, quarterback wins are a fruitless metric and that could not have been proven more true at Lincoln Financial Field on game day.
On Sunday, things should have been easy for J.J. McCarthy. He was facing a 2-win Eagles team that had turned the quarterback position over to Joe Milton. Jalen Hurts is out, Saquon Barkley has been linked to trade rumors, and Nick Siriani’s team is hardly the formidable foe they once were.
