Daniel Jones Report Card: NY Giants Offense Shows No Life in Ugly Loss

NY Giants QB Daniel Jones’ Worst Moment of The Day

As almost always, there was the backbreaking play from Daniel Jones. There’s a sense of feeling inevitable that Jones will turn the ball over at least once a game. After quietly holding onto the ball for 2.5 quarters, Jones obviously coughed it up in the 3rd quarter.

Coming off a Broncos touchdown, Denver extended its’ lead to go up 17-7. As the Giants struggle with 10-point deficits as if it was 100 points, it was obvious they desperately needed to respond with points of their own or this game would effectively be over. And of course, it was the ladder that happened.

Jones led a 10-play, 60-yard drive for 4 minutes straight. Everything was going well on the drive and the Giants impressively marched up the field. After converting three straight 3rd downs including the immediate play before this, Jones was leading a very good drive to match Denver’s impressive drive too.

On first and 10 from the Denver 22, Jones ran for seven yards. All looked good for the 3rd year QB who seemingly was setting his team up for an advantageous 2nd & short opportunity. Instead, Jones did not slide as defenders converged on him. He lost the ball and Denver pounced on it at their own 15-yard line.

It was another gut punch for the Giants and was the beginning of the end of this game. More of the same from Jones who still has shown a knack for losing the football with very little caution.
