Daniel Jones' prime-time struggles continue vs. Bengals: Giants QB with worst record under lights since 1970

Daniel Jones and the New York Giants lost yet another game on prime time on Sunday night, the latest coming against the Cincinnati Bengals, continuing a horrific trend.
While Jones has had solid numbers the last few weeks, including a big win on the road in Seattle in Week 5, his prime-time production is another story. In fact, few quarterbacks have had more trouble when operating under the lights for nationally televised matchups. Here's a look at the numbers:

Jones' only win in prime time was against the Commanders in December 2022, a 20-12 victory that ended on a questionable non-call -- potential pass interference on the Giants in the end zone on fourth down with the Commanders driving to tie the game.
That win snapped Jones' nine-game losing streak in prime time to begin his career. It's also been long forgotten, especially after the Giants opened the 2023 season with an embarrassing 40-point loss on "Sunday Night Football" against the Cowboys , then had a 2024 season-opening dud against the Minnesota Vikings.
