Giants' Daniel Jones: Tops 400 yards in comeback OT win
Jones completed 28 of 40 passes for 402 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win over New Orleans. He added 27 yards on four rushing attempts and ran in a two-point conversion.
After the teams exchanged missed field goals, Jones opened the scoring with a 52-yard touchdown to John Ross. His first interception of the season wasn't a costly one, as it came on a Hail Mary to end the first half. Jones and the rest of the Giants offense were quiet through three quarters outside of the Ross touchdown, but a 54-yard touchdown pass to Saquon Barkley and Jones' ensuing two-point conversion ignited New York's comeback, cutting the Saints' lead to three with 6:52 remaining. The third-year quarterback proceeded to set up Graham Gano's game-tying 48-yard field goal in the final minute, then marched the offense down the field for the game-winning drive in overtime, which Barkley capped with a six-yard touchdown run. Fresh off his first 400-yard passing game -- and first 300-yard performance since his rookie season -- Jones will be brimming with confidence when the Giants travel to Dallas in Week 5.
