The Giants will be without quarterback Jaxson Dart again this week. Can Jameis Winston lead the team to its first road win in over a year?

Banks’ critique of Carter is fair. The Giants were without Kayvon Thibodeaux against the Packers, and Carter was benched for the first drive of the game after missing a walkthrough.
