4 reasons the NY Giants can stun the Vikings in Week 16

2. QB Daniel Jones will lead the charge against the Vikings defense

After a fantastic game against Washington, alongside a string of some rather solid performances despite having little-to-nothing around him, we are extremely confident that Daniel Jones is ready to guarantee a Giants playoff berth on Christmas Eve.

Obviously it’s hard to make big-time plays or put up crazy stats when having no offensive help, but Jones also has an offensive coordinator that doesn’t trust him. However, when watching games, it is very clear that Jones is the leader of this offense.

Not only has Jones been making some rather impressive throws, but he has also been playing clean, turnover-free football and has certainly not been the reason for the Giants lack of success in recent games.

Hopefully Mike Kafka can continue to allow Jones to throw the ball, as that was when the offense was working best against Washington outside of Barkley’s incredible hot streak in the fourth quarter.

After Jones’ impressive performance against Washington, we really think a win against the Vikings would all but guarantee his return in the 2023 season – which is deserving considering that not only has he played well under an offensive coordinator that doesn’t trust him, but he is also leading the Giants to a playoff berth with almost no help around him.
