This is the first meaningful December for Daniel Jones, the first playoff chase of his whiplashed Giants career.
And because Kayvon Thibodeaux wouldn’t let him lose it.
Jones’ popgun offense scored all of 13 points. With the absence of playmakers around him, with the absence of a running game, with the absence of a downfield passing game, he had no margin for error.And he didn’t make any. “I think I made some good decisions for the most part, some key conversions that kept drives going in critical points of the game. I thought I saw the field pretty well,” Jones said.I showed Jones the Simms tweet and he beamed.
“I appreciate that for sure,” Jones told The Post. “He’s obviously someone you look up to and set an example for what the quarterback for this franchise should be. I’m just taking one week at a time and keep playing as well as I can.” It was a sack of Taylor Heinicke by Dexter Lawrence and Azeez Ojulari that forced a fumble that Leonard Williams recovered at the NYG 14 that seemed to preserve it.
