Jones started slowly before settling in during his first live game-action since tearing his ACL.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones waited over nine months to return to the gridiron in live game action, determined to put an ugly season-ending ACL injury–and an ugly 2023 season–behind him.
Jones, looking to quiet his critics once and for all, was inconsistent in his 2024 debut. He finished 11-of-18 for 138 yards on the night but also threw two interceptions and narrowly missed a third one, all of which came in the first quarter of play. Besides the two interceptions, one of which was a clear panic throw in which Jones, who otherwise had solid pass protection for a change, tried to force a ball to rookie tight end Theo Johnson, who was blanketed by the time Jones decided to attempt the pass.
While a case could be made that Hyatt should have fought more for the ball, Jones’s pass still semed ill-advised given how blanketed the receiver was by the defender.
