## Key points

- McCarthy’s wife and son have moved to New Jersey.
- He threw for 252 yards in his Giants debut.
- The Giants face the Eagles after 13 straight Linc losses.

## Summary

J.J. McCarthy has reunited with his wife and young son after moving to New Jersey to join the New York Giants, a change he says gives him a stronger sense of purpose. The family’s arrival comes as he prepares for his second start and the Giants look to build on an encouraging win.

McCarthy, 23, joined the team on 29 September and spent more than a month apart from his family; his son Rome has begun walking and running in that time. In his first start, he completed 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards without a turnover as the Giants beat Houston. The 4-2-1 Giants next visit the 2-6 Eagles, against whom they have lost 13 straight games at Lincoln Financial Field; coach John Harbaugh says McCarthy is now largely caught up with the playbook.
