Winston, McCarthy combine to lead Giants to 19-11 win and hand Eagles 7th straight loss

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jameis Winston replaced the injured J.J. McCarthy long enough to throw a go-ahead touchdown pass and help the New York Giants keep their grip on the NFC East and beat Philadelphia 19-11 on Sunday to hand the Eagles their seventh straight loss.

The Eagles (2-7) are on their longest losing streak since they lost eight straight games in Andy Reid’s final season in 2012.

With Jalen Hurts likely out for the season with blood clots and a playoff berth all but gone, the Eagles could get a roster makeover at Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline.

The Giants (5-2-1) are the only team in the division with a winning record.

The Eagles had beaten the Giants 13 straight times at home — including one playoff win — since New York last won on Oct. 27, 2013.

It doesn’t seem to matter who’s playing quarterback for the Giants.

McCarthy suffered a hip injury in the third quarter that briefly forced him out of the game and the Giants trailing 8-6.

Coach John Harbaugh turned to Winston — who held the starting job for four games after No. 1 QB Jaxson Dart was injured — to rally New York.

Winston did enough in his cameo to keep New York’s first division title since 2011 within reach. He hit wide receiver Malachi Fields for 14 yards that took the ball to the Eagles 3-yard line and followed two plays later with a 5-yard TD pass to Isaiah Likely that sent the Giants into the fourth quarter with a 13.-8 lead.

McCarthy returned for the final play of the third quarter. He completed 12 of 19 passes for 127 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions. Winston was 6 of 8 for 71 yards and the lone touchdown.

Dominic Zvada kicked field goals of 53 and 49 yards for a 6-0 lead in the first quarter and connected from 38 and 49 yards in the second half for a 19-8 lead.

Like the Giants, the Eagles have also cycled through quarterbacks because of injuries and ineffectiveness.

Tanner McKee went 0-3 since taking over for Hurts as the starter before he was benched this week for Joe Milton.

The 26-year-old Milton had appeared in five NFL games in relief and was suddenly tasked with saving the Eagles' season.

He showed flashes of the speed and strong arm that McKee doesn't have. Like McKee. Milton couldn't do much to move the offense.

Saquon Barkley scored on a 3-yard run late in the first quarter and — after a Giants penalty on the extra point — Milton ran in for the 2-point conversion for an 8-7 lead. Milton punctuated the score with a backflip in the end zone that got a rise out of the crowd.

Milton went 18 of 34 for 169 yards and was sacked on the final play of the game. Jake Elliott added a 45-yard field goal.

Jonathan Greenard finally got his first sack as an Eagle after he was acquired from Minnesota in a draft-weekend trade. The edge rusher subsequently agreed to a four-year, $98 million extension, including $50 million guaranteed.

Braden Mann unleashed an 86-yard punt for the Eagles at the end of the first half. It was the longest punt in the NFL since 2001. Mann punted out of the end zone (the ball was spotted at the Eagles 8) and rolled out of bounds at the Giants 6-yard line.

Mann followed with a 60-yarder to end the Eagles' first drive of the second half. He also lost 2 yards on a botched punt.

Former Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham actually holds the franchise record with a 91-yarder in 1989.

Giants host the Commanders on Thursday.

Eagles head into a bye and return on Nov. 22 to host the Steelers.

KRAKOW, Poland (AP) — Mourners on Sunday laid candles and flowers alongside bullet holes in Krakow, Poland, after the city's central square turned into a site of bloodshed and grief. A 24-year-old man with far-right views opened fire a day earlier, killing six people and wounding 15 before police shot and wounded him.

Poland on Sunday began two days of national mourning following the attack the day before, which Poland’s defense minister described as an “act of terror."

The violence began Saturday at around 3 p.m. when the assailant drove through the Main Square, in the heart of Krakow’s Old Town. The square is a major tourist hub in the country’s second-largest city.

St. Mary’s Trumpet Call, a traditional five-note melody played every hour from the highest tower of St. Mary’s Basilica on the Main Square, was paused overnight, the first time the call had been missed since World War II.

On Sunday afternoon, St. Anne’s Church in Krakow filled with mourners attending a memorial service. The square reopened soon after and locals and visitors alike showed up to reclaim it after the tragedy.

“I come here so as not to get caught up in a spiral of fear and anxiety,” Krakow local Maciej Sikorski told The Associated Press from the square. “In a situation like this, it’s all too easy to stop living — to start being afraid instead, and just vegetate. That is something I really want to avoid.”

Authorities also found the bodies of the assailant’s sister, mother and father at the man’s family home in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, a city about 150 kilometers (93 miles) northeast of Krakow. They likely died from gunshot wounds.

Witness Andy Hill told the BBC that he’d felt as though he was in a movie scene.

“It doesn’t feel real,” the British tourist said. “And the trouble is, you have such an instantaneous moment to make a decision: Run. Stand still. There’s an element of shock. But I just thought the easiest thing to do is dive through a doorway and just take refuge behind the windows.”

Warsaw native Magdalena Frączak, meanwhile, was visiting Krakow with her friend when shots rang out and the gunman drew closer.

“I threw an elderly woman behind the flower planter because she had become tangled in the blanket she had on her lap. I covered her with my body," Frączak told the AP. "I also saw him out of the corner of my eye — he passed just one meter behind my back. That’s why I have shrapnel wounds in six places on my back. Only after he had passed did I pull the woman up, and we ran into a café."

On Sunday, she forced herself to return to the Main Square to grieve among other mourners.

“I can’t put it into words. Because I knew that I would never come back to Krakow if I didn’t come in here," she said. “When I found out that they had reopened the Main Market Square, I told my friend that I had to come here.”

American tourist Marylin Green mourned the losses in the “beautiful city" during her first trip to Poland that also included the capital.

“I’m Polish, my parents were from here,” she said. "I loved Warsaw. So I was really looking forward to coming here, too.”

Prosecutors said Sunday they opened an investigation into the murder and attempted murder of numerous people, including police officers, with the act “constituting a terrorist offense.”

Four women and two men were killed in the shooting. Three of the women and one of the men were Polish, Krzysztof Jan Klęczar, the Malopolska regional governor, said on Sunday. A man from the U.K. and a woman from Austria were also among the dead.

A video posted on social media showed a police officer repeatedly shooting the attacker, who was lying on the street. The officer later slowly collapsed to the ground.

The two police officers who stopped the gunman, in actions authorities hailed as heroic, remain in the hospital. They were both conscious by Sunday afternoon.

“If it weren’t for the efficient and selfless intervention of these two young men, the number of victims could have been significantly higher,” Klęczar said.

Michał Pędziwiatr and Mateusz Wierdak, two local surgeons who were having a bite to eat nearby, also stepped in.

Wierdak "took care of the officer who subdued the attacker because he truly needed urgent help,” Pędziwiatr told the Polish news website onet. “Without protection, without gloves, he simply focused on the officer, stopping the bleeding in his chest. This probably saved his life.”

Five foreigners are among the wounded. They come from the U.K., Portugal, Russia, Germany and Austria.

The suspect is also in critical condition after undergoing multiple surgeries. There was confusion on Saturday about his age, with authorities first saying 24 and later 25. On Sunday they confirmed that he is 24.

The suspect’s dead sibling was a young artist studying at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts. “Nothing will ever be like before. The delicate tissue of our academic community was painfully wounded,” the academy wrote in a statement on Sunday, confirming that Magdalena Oksińska was a third year student and that, additionally, the sister of an academy employee was shot twice.

“Magdalena Oksińska, 21 years old, a queer person, was an absolutely talented painter, photographer, poet and writer,” architect Pavko Krajka wrote in a post on social media, accompanied by images of the artist’s colourful paintings. “Her death is a great loss for Krakow, Polish, European and queer culture.”

Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński said the suspect holds “very radical” and “ultranationalistic” views.

“Everything indicates that he was fascinated by far-right ideologies,” Kierwiński said at a news conference Saturday.

Local officials in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski said they seized seven weapons from the family home, bringing the total number recovered to 11, including four found on the suspect or in his car in Krakow. Both father and son had gun permits, they said.

Around 411,000 people hold gun permits in Poland, which has a population of 37 million, and interest in gun ownership has been rising.

The Swit shooting club in Starachowice, where the suspect is believed to have trained, issued a statement on Sunday saying it offered only “static shooting,” which involves firing from a fixed position at a stationary target. The club added that the suspect “was never trained in our club in the areas of dynamic, tactical or combat shooting.”

Mass shootings are uncommon in Poland. However, in mid-October three attacks at schools in the central province of Mazovia took place within four days, leaving one person dead and many wounded, including children. The young attackers used knives or other sharp objects. Officials blamed the school attacks on online “glorification of violence,” and said that some of the attackers were active in the far-right environment.

The Krakow shooter’s military gear, guns and overall look were similar to those of other “extreme right lone actors” committing attacks around Europe, said Kacper Rekawek, a senior researcher at the International Center for Counterterrorism in The Hague.

“We have had attempts before, but now we can say that these kinds of attacks have become successful in Poland,” he said.
