Giants, Jameis Winston and touchdowns
Digest more
Jameis Winston connected with Wan'Dale Robinson off a flea flicker for a 39-yard touchdown that gave the New York Giants a lead over the Detroit Lions.
His teammates made sure it was. Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson sacked New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston on fourth down on the ensuing possession to seal the 34-27 win for Detroit. Gibbs finished with 219 rushing yards and two touchdowns, along with 45 receiving yards and a touchdown on 11 catches.
Alas, it was not enough as the Detroit Lions charged back in the fourth quarter to tie the game 27-27, erasing a 10-point Giants lead, before ultimately snatching the victory from the visiting team on Jahmyr Gibbs’ 69-yard touchdown run for the 34-27 win.
After weeks of outcry begging for Winston to be elevated above game-manager Russ Wilson, the Giants made the change to their backup quarterback depth chart and started Winston for the first time with Jaxson Dart sidelined by a concussion.
