4 NY Giants players who must bounce back against the Cardinals
3. QB Daniel Jones
Yes, the offensive line did not help Jones at all, however Danny Dimes still made some very poor choices with the football and looked completely uncomfortable in the pocket. He has to play better next week, especially after getting a big contract this past offseason. The haters have been out in full force going after him.
Jones did start off the game strong for Big Blue with his legs in particular, rushing for over 20 yards on three carries putting the Giants in a prime position to get on the board first. After that, though, Jones was a totally different person running the offense and the unit couldn't do anything right. It was tough to watch.
Jones had two interceptions on the night. Yes, one of his INTs was not necessarily his fault, with Giants running back Saquon Barkley taking a huge hit by Trevon Diggs resulting in the ball popping out of his hands and into DaRon Bland's.
However, Jones also was intercepted by Stephon Gilmore and it was a huge mistake. Jones tried to throw while running out of bounds and the Dallas D made him pay for it. Jones finished the night 15 of 28 with a career-low 104 passing yards with the two picks to go along with it. His rating was a dismal 32.4 as well. Jones signed his $160 million deal this offseason and he had a great chance to prove he was worth it vs. the Cowboys. That obviously wasn't the case. There are zero excuses for him vs. the Cardinals.
