"Yes! The Giants win, baby. That's what we're talking about," Strahan yelled. "That's it! That's it!"
The victory improved New York to 4-2-1 and kept the team alone in first place in the NFC East heading into its bye week.
Cam Skattebo rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown, including a 42-yard gain in overtime that set up Singletary's game-winner. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy completed 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards in his first start of the season after the team turned to him over Jameis Winston. Malik Nabers added 111 receiving yards.
Houston tied the game late on a touchdown from C.J. Stroud to Xavier Hutchinson with 52 seconds remaining in regulation. The Texans then went three-and-out on their opening overtime possession, allowing the Giants to finish the job.
