The NY Giants never make it easy for themselves. Winning games in the NFL only get so much harder once your starting quarterback goes down midgame.

Daniel Jones left Sunday’s game early against the Bengals after an apparent hamstring injury while running for a first down. It was a scary sight for everyone at 1925 Giants Drive as Jones exited the game after being unable to use any lower body torque after the injury.

Jones finished the day 16/27 with 213 yards and again no turnovers for the third straight week. It’s no coincidence Big Blue has won all three games without a Jones turnover. Although he didn’t score a touchdown, he led a brilliant opening drive for six courtesy of Wayne “The Train” Gallman.

It wasn’t always pretty or impressive but Jones looked good for most of the day. He picked up several 3rd down conversions and a big 4th down try to get the team’s lone touchdown.

We break down his full performance for the day here.
