The New York Giants defeated the Tennessee Titans 12-7 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in rainy, windy conditions. Backup quarterback Jameis Winston made his first start for the Giants after Jaxson Dart underwent season-ending knee surgery. Safety Jevón Holland sealed the win with an end-zone interception of Titans quarterback Cam Ward with 17 seconds left. Former Giants head coach Brian Daboll, now the Titans’ offensive coordinator, was shown slamming a table in the coaches’ box after the interception. Before the game, Winston gave a widely shared pregame answer that some outlets reported as confusing fans on social media; one outlet said the remark paraphrased a Bible verse.
