LANDOVER, Md. — Giants Coach Pat Shurmur thought about scolding quarterback Daniel Jones for a fumble, but then looked down at the score sheet.

“Five touchdowns, and certainly the touchdown in overtime,” Shurmur said. “Maybe I won’t holler at him. I’ll just talk to him.”

Jones put together one of the best performances by a rookie quarterback in decades on Sunday afternoon, throwing for 352 yards with a career-high five touchdown passes to help the Giants beat the Washington Redskins, 41-35, in overtime. He joined Matthew Stafford as the only rookie quarterbacks since 1950 to throw for 300-plus yards and five-plus touchdowns in a game.
