Daniel Jones had another tough game in the New York Giants’ season-opener against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, and one stunning stat shows how poorly things have gone for the quarterback over the past year.

Jones went went 22/42 for 186 yards with two interceptions (one of which was a pick-six) in New York’s 28-6 loss to the Vikings at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The pick-six was Jones’ third in the last two seasons. He has thrown just two touchdown passes in that span, which means he now has more pick-sixes than touchdown passes since signing a $160 million extension prior to the 2023 season.

Jones only played in six games last season after he signed his new 4-year deal. He first suffered a neck injury in Week 5 and then tore his ACL when he returned in Week 9, so the sample size is not all that large. Still, that is as ugly of a stat as you will see.

Giants fans wasted no time booing their team during Sunday’s horrific performance. Head coach Brian Daboll was already asked whether he would consider benching Jones , and those questions are only going to become more frequent if the former first-round pick doesn’t find a way to turn things around.
