Giants grades: Jones continues to struggle protecting the ball

OFFENSE: D

Years from now statistical historians will look at Daniel Jones’ line, see four touchdown passes and a 121.7 rating, and think, “Wow, the kid was sharp!” They’ll be wrong. Jones continues to struggle with ball security, as evidenced by the inadvertent handoff he gave to Jets safety Jamal Adams for a touchdown. He fumbled one other time and nearly ended the game on an incompletion that was a fingertip away from being another fumble. He was also sacked six times. Of course, those same historians will also see that Saquon Barkley ran for 1 yard on 13 carries and assume there was a computer glitch that invalidated the boxscore.
