Daniel Jones’ Lowlights

Jones struggled mightily Sunday no matter how you slice it.

Finishing 29-of-51 for a 57% completion percentage isn’t good enough to beat a perennial NFC contender that is one of the best in football again this season.

All three of Jones’ interceptions were back-breakers and more frustrating than the last one. Jones had two fumbles and lost another bringing back bad memories of his heavily turnover-prone games from his first two seasons.

Jones and the Giants’ offense was unable to create or sustain any momentum from the 2nd quarter on. Once they got into a hole and trailed, they never even remotely threatened the Rams again and it was a painfully bad offensive performance all game.
