Giants bench Eli, elevate Jones to starting QB

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Eli Manning's run as the New York Giants starting quarterback appears to be over after almost 15 years. Rookie Daniel Jones will take over beginning Sunday on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jones was the No. 6 overall pick in this year's draft out of Duke. He had a strong spring and summer, completing 85.3 percent of his passes in the preseason with four touchdown passes and no interceptions.

Manning, 38, has made a franchise record 232 starts since replacing Kurt Warner during his rookie season in 2004.
