Against the Vikings Daniel Jones became the first quarterback in NFL history to have 300 yards passing, two TD passes and at least 70 yards rushing in a playoff game.
Daniel Jones' future with the New York Giants was murky heading into this season with plenty of critics wondering if he could truly ever be a franchise-type quarterback.Jones heard it all, and some was warranted. The Giants not exercising the fifth-year option on his rookie deal last offseason spoke volumes, too. But he has silenced most of the naysayers with a solid season and a history-making postseason debut, leading the Giants to their first playoff win in 11 years.
Jones, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 draft out of Duke, threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 78 yards in New York's 31-24 victory over Minnesota last Sunday. He became the first quarterback in NFL history to have 300 yards passing, two TD passes and at least 70 yards rushing in a playoff game.
"My focus is just trying to help him be the best he can be," coach Brian Daboll said. "He's done everything that he can do since I've been here. A great guy to work with. He works extremely hard, and I think that's where our focus is." The Giants will face the Eagles for the third time this season, with Philadelphia winning the first two meetings. Jones was 18 of 27 for 169 yards and a touchdown, and also ran for a score in New York's 48-22 loss at home on Dec. 11. Jones and most of the Giants' starters were held out of the regular-season finale, a 22-16 loss at Philly."Daniel Jones is dangerous in the pocket and when he gets out of the pocket, he's playing really good football," Sirianni said.
