Sam Darnold Impresses For Jets, But Daniel Jones Amazes In Giants Preseason Win

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Daniel Jones wowed the New York Giants in his short debut. It’s seemingly only a matter of time before people call for the kid to replace two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning at quarterback.

Jones hit all five of his passes and capped his only series with a pinpoint 12-yard touchdown pass to Bennie Fowler III in leading the Giants to a 31-22 victory over the local rival Jets on Thursday night in a preseason game suspended for 59 minutes in the first quarter when lightning and heavy rain rolled into the Meadowlands area.
