FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – When the Giants returned to their hotel rooms in Providence following Wednesday’s practice and turned on their television sets, they saw what just about every other person in New England – and most of the country – was seeing: the hot take coronation of Mac Jones as the next great Patriots passer.
On Thursday, the defense seemed intent on making the rookie quarterback look more like a rookie quarterback. And they did.
The Giants pestered Jones with sacks, pass breakups, an interception by Logan Ryan, and just about everything else they could throw at him to send the hype train from the previous day’s workout off its rails.
