## Winston's game impact
Giants quarterback Jameis Winston scored a touchdown in the first quarter but was pulled after 34 straight Saints points and two second-half interceptions.
## Winston's statement
Winston said he'd love to put himself in a better position to execute by doing his very best every play.

> That’s him. You know, that’s the decision that he’ll have to make. What I would love is to just put myself in a better position to execute. And that just starts with me. Things that I can control, going out there every single play, doing my very best.
## McCarthy's opportunity
J.J. McCarthy led the Giants to 17 points and had a shot to tie the game on the final drive.
## McCarthy's role
McCarthy was traded for as a backup after Jaxson Dart's knee injury and has been a viable option for the Giants.
## Next week's decision
Head coach John Harbaugh said the immediate aftermath of the loss was not the time to announce a starter for Week 7.
## Week 7 outlook
McCarthy's time as a starter is likely coming even if he isn't on the field for the first snap in Houston next week.
## Key takeaway

Giants' Jameis Winston wants to execute better before Week 7 start after losing to Saints.
