What we learned from New York Giants’ 31-28 win over Arizona Cardinals
Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports
Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was under siege again in the first half of Sunday’s game. He was 9-of-16 for just 62 yards, was sacked twice, and was charged with another interception that was not his fault.
Down, 20-0, at halftime head coach Brian Daboll challenged his team, asking them ‘are we gonna fight or what?’
They fought. Jones took the Giants on his back and led them on five straight scoring drives in the second half — four touchdowns and the winning field goal with 19 seconds left.
Jones finished the game completing 26 of 37 passes for 321 yards with two touchdowns for a passer rating of 103.5. He also rushed for 59 yards on nine carries and another score.
Asked what they did differently in the second half, Jones provided his typical low-key explanation.
“Just getting back to simple execution, and trusting it, seeing it, and ripping it. We had some opportunities to make plays in the first half. We didn’t do it and I knew that it’d be there. I just had to execute, give our guys a chance to make those plays and we did it and built off of it going forward,” he said.
