EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—The Daniel Jones era has officially begun. On Tuesday, Pat Shurmur announced the 22-year-old rookie would start over two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning when the Giants face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
It’s a surreal moment for the Giants organization as they’re turning the page from the most prolific passer in the history of the franchise. But at the same time, they’re excited about the prospect of what Jones can bring to the offense.
Jones and the Giants will have their work cut out for them if they’re going to get their first win of the season as the Bucs have had 10 days off since their 20-14 victory over the Carolina Panthers last Thursday night.
