"So 9 isn't the answer. Noted," one fan said. "Lmfaoooooo he’s so soft," another fan said. "3rd soft benching of the year due to 'injury'. Has to be a record," another fan said.

The criticism didn't stop, and one fan even said the Vikings could be interested in Tua Tagovailoa after the latest on McCarthy.

"They come up with a new way to bench Nine every week," one fan said. "tough break for the mccarthy hype train," another fan said."The Minnesota Vikings have officially entered the Tua Tagovailoa sweepstakes!" another fan said.

Besides taking a big hit and getting injured, JJ McCarthy's fumble resulted in Tyler Nublin taking the ball all the way to the end zone. The Giants cut the lead to 13-10 with Nublin's score.
