NY Giants’ blowout loss to Rams defined by these 3 disastrous stats

Number 2: 50 pass attempts for Daniel Jones/4 turnovers for Jones

This is an embarrassing stat for the coaching staff.

With the NY Giants only having three active receivers — after Kadarius Toney got knocked out with an ankle injury — and an offensive line that mostly consisted of backups for most of the game, surely they’d at least try to mix things up and not put your QB in a worse situation than he already was in.

Lets just say they didn’t do that.

First of all, the fact that Jones remained in the game after the first half while being down 31-3 is a questionable move on its own. Let alone in the fourth quarter when it was a 38-3 ball game and they continued to send Jones out there and risked his health in a game that was already over.

The Giants were without 7 of their offensive starters from last weeks game, including 3 offensive lineman. Yet, they continued to try and throw the ball even though it was not working. Keep in mind, the rushing offense was not working very well either, but that’s no excuse to just give up on it.

The Giants were lucky that Jones was not seriously injured with the amount of times he was hit. Especially when you consider he’s coming off a game where he suffered a concussion.

Now onto Jones’ mistakes.

This game was definitely not good for Jones, throwing 3 interceptions and losing 1 fumble.

On the bright side of this, one of Jones’ interceptions came on a throw that was on target, but receiver Sterling Shepard slipped and fell on the route, leading to the interception. Also on Daniel Jones’ single lost fumble, he was blindsided while throwing the the ball as I previously mentioned.

Now, to the bad.

Jones first interception came in the second quarter where he threw a pass into quadruple coverage while targeting none other than Evan Engram. Not Engram’s fault, but still funny.

The other came in the 3rd quarter when Jones was targeting Dante Pettis on a hitch route and safety Taylor Rapp rose up and intercepted the pass.

Obviously, this was not a good game for Jones but the fans need to understand that Jones was playing with only 3 active receivers, a backup running back, and an offensive line mostly consisted of backups

Fans should not be so quick to turn on Jones. Especially when you consider how well he played when he had his weapons and his line was somewhat healthy in weeks 2-4.
