JJ McCarthy was coached by Jim Harbaugh at Michigan and now will be coached by John Harbaugh in the NFL with the Giants. Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: New York Giants closed Tennessee Titans 12-7 in a final. JJ McCarthy joins New York under John Harbaugh after playing for Jim Harbaugh at Michigan.

Why it matters: The pairing restores a prior coach-quarterback history from Michigan to the NFL. New York gains schematic familiarity while integrating a young passer under John Harbaugh.

By the numbers: Final: Tennessee Titans 7, New York Giants 12. Dominic Zvada: 12 PTS, game-high. Joey Slye: 1 PT.

What to watch: Watch how quickly McCarthy takes reps under John Harbaugh. Watch New York's quarterback rotation after the final.
