Duke football standout Daniel Jones missed the NFL Playoffs in heartbreaking fashion.

There hasn’t been much to look forward to if you are a supporter of the Duke football team this year, but Sunday could have been the chance to be a great day for the program.

Former star quarterback Daniel Jones had a chance to qualify for the NFL Playoffs for the first time in his professional career with the New York Giants.

New York needed to defeat the Dallas Cowboys and then hope for the Philadelphia Eagles to defeat the Washington Football Team on Sunday night.
