Daniel Jones

Daniel Jones completed 22-of-42 passes for 186 yards and two interceptions in the Giants’ 28-6, Week 1 loss to the Vikings.

Jones “added” six rushes for 15 yards. Jones was hurt by drops and penalties, but it was a thoroughly non-competitive start from a lame-duck starter who is already on Drew Lock watch. Jones’ first interception was a pick-six on a screen where Andrew Van Ginkel was in the end zone before anyone in the stadium even knew what happened. INT No. 2 came with Harrison Smith jumping a route in the end zone. The game was already long decided before either miscue because of Jones and the Giants’ complete failure to move the ball. Jones has a bottom-three supporting cast, but it’s beyond clear he is not going to do anything to elevate it. The only good news is the Commanders should be a somewhat easier matchup for Week 2.
