They say defense wins championships, but they fail to mention the impact of quarterback’s winning meaningless games in overtime at 3-11. However, if you include the word “rookie” before “quarterback’s,” you can inject a bit more value into the significance. The New York Giants enjoyed a bit of hope on Sunday afternoon when they overcame the Washington Redskins 41-35 in overtime on the back of Daniel Jones.
Jones‘ five touchdown passes and 352 yards not only set a record for rookie passers, but it also speaks volumes to the player development curated by head coach, Pat Shurmur.
