Daniel Jones went untouched on his 34-yard touchdown run against the Eagles on Sunday. A few weeks ago, when he broke loose for an 80-yarder against the same team, he was also untouched… until he fell on his own.
It’s always nice when a quarterback doesn’t get hit.
But there were plenty of plays in Sunday’s win when Jones was touched. Hard. Besides the scoring dash he also carried the ball eight other times for 30 grueling yards, often lunging and extending for extra inches on each of those. Some were scrambles, others sneaks, and a few were designed runs on read options.
