Daniel Jones Crushed by Fans After Throwing Laughably Bad Pick-Six vs. Texans

Daniel Jones threw an ugly pick-six Saturday against the Falcons. / @NFL

New York Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones was back under center Saturday for the first time since last November when a torn ACL ended his 2023 season. So how did the former No. 6 overall pick look in his return?

Not great.

Jones, who signed a four-year, $160 million contract last March, threw two interceptions, including one of the worst pick-sixes you'll ever see. Jones tried to escape some pressure in the end zone before airing a brutal pass that was intercepted by Houston's Jalen Pitre, who strolled into the end zone for the touchdown.

Fans crushed Jones and the Giants:

Since 2019, Daniel Jones has committed 64 turnovers in 60 games. He’s lost 24 fumbles, thrown 40 INT’s, and has been sacked 179 times.

Joe Schoen is an absolute dumbass for giving this guy $160,000,000 while having 3 seasons worth of tape on him. https://t.co/iTQbzsMWoh

I knew he was bad but watching him and then watching CJ Stroud be surgical is quite the juxtaposition. https://t.co/EzThBaBdHr
