After working for more than nine months to recover from ACL surgery, Daniel Jones didn't quite have a storybook return for the New York Giants in their season opener. The quarterback was booed.
“Obviously not good enough. Didn’t get in the end zone, scored six points,” said Jones, who finshed 22 of 42 for 186 yards. “Didn’t create much rhythm and flow for ourselves. I’ve got to be better, certainly got to play better, give ourselves more chances to make plays and execute more consistently.”
After preaching about throwing the ball downfield since training camp opened, the Giants didn't go deep once. The longest play was a pair of 25-yard catches by first-round draft pick Malik Nabors. Eight of the Giants' 68 offensive plays were for more than 10 yards. After making the playoffs with a 9-7-1 record in Brian Daboll's first season as head coach in 2022, the Giants disappointed fans last season by going 6-11. The fans were clearly frustrated at halftime with New York down 14-3 and they booed the team off the field.
