Daniel Jones threw truly awful pick-6 for Giants to start NFL season

It’s going to be a long season for the New York football Giants.

The New York Giants were expected to be one of the NFL’s worst teams entering the season, and their Week 1 performance hasn’t done anything to change that perspective. New York got smoked out of the gates against a Minnesota Vikings team already starting its backup QB, and as expected the big issue for the Giants has been their quarterback play.

Daniel Jones feels like he’s on his last chance as an NFL QB, and he’s already off to a bad start. In the third quarter of Week 1, Jones dropped back to pass and threw an absolutely terrible pick right into the hands of Vikings defender Andrew Van Ginkel. The veteran linebacker waltzed into the end zone for the pick-six.

What was Jones looking at? His days as a starting QB already feel numbered. Watch Jones’ awful pick here:

It’s going to be a long season for the G-Men. Daniel Jones ain’t it.
