You've probably seen it by now, but there's just no defending the throw NY Giants QB Daniel Jones made against the Texans that resulted in a pick-six. It was a brutal mistake for Jones and we're tired of ripping on him for it. He knows he made a big mistake and he needs to grow from it.

Shortly after the final whistle from Big Blue's 28-10 loss on the road against Houston, Danny Dimes spoke to the media about how he was feeling overall. Obviously, his pick-six courtesy of Jalen Pitre was brought up. Jones knows he simply has to be better than this:

Daniel Jones is holding himself accountable for his preseason debut

"Obviously the first quarter didn't go how we wanted it. You know, bad decision and a bad throw (on the pick-six). I'd like to have that back, but you know I think we overall got some things going in the second quarter, executed and moved the ball. You want to finish with touchdowns - I was happy with how we responded in the second quarter. "
