When the New York Giants drafted Daniel Jones sixth overall, it was ridiculed. When the Giants didn't pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie deal, that seemed to cement him as a bust. By the end of his third season, the only hope was that new coach Brian Daboll could completely turn him around. It's not like the Giants gave him a lot of talent to throw to.
Former general manager Dave Gettleman did a lot wrong, but maybe he got it right with Jones. Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings in a wild-card playoff game was mostly about Jones being awesome. The Giants put everything on his shoulders and he carved up the Vikings. Jones threw for 301 yards, to receivers who might not start for many other playoff teams, and also rushed for 78 yards.
The Vikings had an easy 75-yard touchdown drive to start the game. Then the Giants answered with an easy 75-yard touchdown drive. The game kept going back and forth. The Vikings were going to go for it on fourth-and-1 but a false start moved them back five yards and they settled for a field goal. The game was tied 24-24. The Giants marched downfield after that, converted a fourth-and-1, and Barkley's second touchdown gave them a 31-24 lead.
