There were some big road wins, some struggles with extra points and even a starting quarterback being benched, but Week 3 in the NFL is almost in the books.
. Jones completed just 17 of 32 attempts for 179 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
Jones missed open targets, failed to sustain drives and, perhaps most damning, simply could not make plays when the Giants needed him to step up. And at times, it almost looked like Jones was having a tough time seeing the field well. During the two-minute drill at the end of the first half, with the Giants down 13-6, Jones telegraphed a pass that was intercepted by San Francisco linebacker Fred Warner in Giants territory. It led to a Niners field goal that extended their lead to 10.
The Eagles had the chance to attempt a 59-yard, game-winning field goal by Jake Elliott – who made a 61-yard game-winner in September 2017. But an inexcusable false start by guard Matt Pryor pushed it back to a 64-yard attempt. Rather than give it a go, with just 19 seconds left in the game and the Bengals not having any timeouts, Pederson opted for a delay of game penalty and punted the ball away to play for a tie.
In fact, according to Elias, this is the fifth time since 2016 that Atlanta has lost a game when leading by at least 16 points, including postseason games. No other squad has more than two such losses in that stretch. The Falcons suffer from discipline issues, lapses of concentration, a lack of situational awareness and an absence of finishing ability – all of which are signs of poor coaching.
