Daniel Jones reveals what Eli Manning said to him after Sunday’s win

On Sunday, a new era (as far as fans hope) began for the New York Giants. Rookie quarterback Daniel Jones received his first career start in a must-win game for Big Blue. A 0-3 start, regardless of the quarterback under center, is not what you want as an NFL organization, especially with the fans of New York.

Jones went into the game against the Tampa Bay Buccanneers around the 4:05 p.m. ET start time. Just a few hours later, he’s a hometown hero. The former Duke Blue Devil completed 23 of his 36 passes for 336 yards and two touchdowns.
