Patriots will likely face Daniel Jones and not Eli Manning in Week 6 against the Giants

On Sunday, the New England Patriots will play their second straight division game when they host the New York Jets — a team that will likely have to rely on its third string quarterback, Luke Falk, with both men ahead of him on the depth chart, Sam Darnold and Trevor Siemian, unavailable due to medical issues. The Jets are not the only team in the Big Apple and on the Patriots’ schedule to face questions at quarterback.

As the New York Giants announced earlier today, they have decided to bench starting quarterback Eli Manning in favor of Daniel Jones.
