LANDOVER, Md. - New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones returned to the lineup Sunday better than ever. He became the first rookie in NFL history with 350-plus passing yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions, per the Elias Sports Bureau.
The performance came after Jones missed two games with a high ankle sprain and included his throwing the game-winning touchdown pass on the opening possession of overtime in a 41-35 win over the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field. Jones also joined elite company alongside Deshaun Watson and Fran Tarkenton as the third first-year quarterback in NFL history to throw four touchdown passes three times in a season.
