CHICAGO — Someday what Daniel Jones did on one magnificent play late in the fourth quarter Sunday might actually mean something. Might actually be hailed as the reason why the Giants won a game, rather than a nondescript footnote in another loss on another dreary afternoon.
What the Giants and their punch-drunk fans now have is only glimpses of the good overwhelmed by the tsunami of the bad. What Jones did late in the fourth quarter, staying cool with things heating up around him, risking bodily harm as he stood tall and fired a 23-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate, could not prevent the Giants from doing what they do best, which is walk off the field with fewer points than the other team.
