In their 19-17 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, the NY Giants got the ultimate scare when franchise quarterback Daniel Jones went down grabbing his leg.

With just over a month left in the regular season, the NY Giants are currently in first place in the NFC East standings.

It’s probably one of the hardest things to believe in 2020, but at 4-7, the Giants are atop the division, after beating the Cincinnati Bengals 19-17. With their first three-game winning streak since 2016, the true test is up next for the Giants.

It’s a moment of celebration, but the Giants cannot rest easy.

Quarterback Daniel Jones was visibly in pain and had to be removed from the game. Jones went to the medical tent and tried to re-enter the game, but he was clearly still in pain and quickly came out.

It’s unclear how severe the injury is, but the Giants are absolutely going to need him to be healthy as they start the toughest stretch of their schedule. In his absence, Wayne Gallman stepped up and led the offense. Gallman carried the ball twenty-four times and scored the first points of the game.
