EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Statistically, Daniel Jones is a middling to below-average quarterback.
Except when he faces the Commanders.
The New York Giants signal-caller again proved to be a problem for Washington in Sunday’s 20-20 tie, notably hurting the Commanders’ defense with his legs. Jones rushed for 71 yards on 12 attempts, in addition to his 200 yards passing.
Figuring out how to stop Jones will likely be the Commanders’ top priority when the two teams meet again in just two weeks. The Commanders (7-5-1) have a bye week next weekend and when they return the following week, they’ll host the Giants on either Dec.
