Despite his lack of play throughout the Giants' 2-10 start to the season, Wilson has continued to show his leadership on the field. That includes going up for New York during the overtime coin toss against the Detroit Lions on Sunday in what turned out to be a 34-27 defeat.

Winston joined the Giants in the offseason on a two-year, $8 million deal. New York originally brought him in as a backup QB behind Wilson, who put pen to paper on a single-season, $10.5 million contract as a free agent.

New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston has been around long enough to know the importance of always staying ready in the event one’s number is called.

Since being selected 25th overall in the 2025 draft, Dart took over as the team’s starter in Week 4 and has thrown for 1,417 yards with 10 passing touchdowns and another 317 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. Despite a rough 2-9 record for the Giants this season, Dart has been one of the bright spots with a 2-5 record as the starter.

Jameis Winston spoke candidly about the New York Giants' QB decision before they face the Detroit Lions in Week 12.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell and New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston were once together on the same team during their respective stints with the New Orleans Saints.

Mike Florio and Chris Simms praise Giants quarterback Jameis Winston for his dynamic game against the Lions that included an electric receiving touchdown, before questioning how New York blew another double-digit lead.

Then again, Jameis Winston isn't -- and never has been -- your usual quarterback. Playing in place of Jaxson Dart (concussion), the Giants' back-up signal caller made an athletic catch on a pass from wide receiver Gunner Olszewski, juked out Derrick Barnes, and then scored one of the best and most unlikely touchdowns you'll ever see.
