Fans woke up on Saturday only to witness their offense performing as poorly as it did last year. Jones’ return, as many feared, lacked the spark needed, further dragging down the team’s overall performance.
In just the second series of the game, after only two plays, Jones threw a poorly executed short pass that was intercepted by Houston Texans safety Jalen Pitre, who returned it for a touchdown.
The rest of the game didn’t improve, as Jones struggled under pressure and failed to perform effectively.
The concern in New York is palpable. On his next drive, Jones made another costly error, attempting a pass to wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, which was intercepted by cornerback Derek Stingley Jr.
at the Texans’ 1-yard line. This has both fans and the front office deeply worried.
Despite Jones being named the starter for the season, and after months of inactivity, the coaching staff felt compelled to give him more playing time. However, experts were quick to criticize and even mock his “expected” return.
The sense of hopelessness surrounding the Giants is evident. Not only did last season’s struggles fail to earn them a high enough draft pick to select a top quarterback prospect, but Jones is also set to remain the team’s number one option for years to come, whether fans like it or not.
