4 NY Giants to blame (including Daniel Jones) for awful primetime loss to Bengals
1. Daniel Jones
You already knew who we were saving for last. Jones looked like a completely different signal-caller against the Bengals, but not in a good way. Is this man cursed in primetime? That may be the case, as he's now 1-14 for his career under the bright lights, which is the worst for any quarterback since 1970.
With a chance to change the narrative, Jones did the opposite, as he looked like a rookie against the Bengals and not someone in Year 6. Keep in mind the Cincinnati defense has been one of the worst units in the league through five weeks, yet the Giants only put up seven points against them. That's downright embarrassing.
Jones made countless headlines in the first quarter, as the G-Men were driving and looked like they were going to get ready to either score a TD or at worst kick a field goal. Jones had other ideas, trying to force a ball. Well, he got hit as he threw and the ball was intercepted. This simply can't happen:
On the night, Jones tossed for 205 yards, with no touchdowns and his brutal interception. He added 56 yards on the ground. This was a very vanilla game for him and nothing special at all. The primetime Daniel Jones we all know and hate was on full display in this one. Now, the team is 2-4 on the year and morale is once again low. A lot of that falls on Jones.
