EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Daniel Jones doesn’t feel any more pressure because New York Giants offensive star Saquon Barkley is sidelined for the season with a knee injury.
The 22-year-old from Duke is smart enough to know playing quarterback in the NFL is tough enough without trying to do more than he is being asked to do.
So while it might seem the Giants (0-2) need more from their second-year leader, the truth is everybody needs to play better. It starts Sunday at MetLife Stadium against the San Francisco 49ers (1-1).
