New York Giants Daniel Jones had a tough preseason match against the Texans, the quarterback just signed a new contract with the team this year, battling injury after injury during his fight to remain as QB for the Giants.
Jones has faced a lot of negativity regarding his performance and there was talk the Giants would draft a new rookie quarterback to possibly replace him after last seasons consistency issues and his health-related availability.
Texas safety Jalen Pitre intercepted this throw by Jones in last night’s match, it appears Jones practically threw the ball right to Pitre just outside the end zone, easily allowing the Texas to score.

Unfortunately for Jones this wasn’t his only big gaffe in the match, minutes later in the same quarter he threw a second interception, aiming for a teammate under heavy blocking by the Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. on the sidelines way downfield.

Jones able to get things back on track somewhat as the game progressed but the result was still a 28-10 loss to the Texans. He will definitely have to put in some more reps if he is going to be starting in the regular season.
