Daniel Jones answers the critics while leading Giants to upset win

New Orleans – If this is indeed a make-or-break year for Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, then he has answered in the affirmative that he can be on the "make" side of the ledger. Especially in Sunday’s 27-21 overtime win against the Saints at the Superdome.

The third-year quarterback threw for a career high 402 yards, had two touchdown passes and looked as authoritative with the offense as at any time during his time with the team.

Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett had been criticized for being too timid in his play-calling with Jones, but this time, Garrett had Jones throw down the field repeatedly.
