Stop me if you've heard this before: Daniel Jones and the Giants have lost on national television. Jones turned the ball over on each of the Giants' final two drives Monday in Pittsburgh to seal yet another loss in prime time.

Jones has a 1-15 record in prime-time games, the worst record by any quarterback since 1970 under the lights for nationally televised games.

Jones' only win in prime time was against the Commanders on 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. 

His lone win in prime time has long been forgotten as his struggles in the spotlight have hit new lows. Including Monday, Jones has gone eight straight prime-time games without accounting for a touchdown (either passing or rushing), the longest quarterback streak on record. 

His last prime-time touchdown was 1,071 days ago on Monday, and it was a pass to his offensive tackle Andrew Thomas

Here's that play:

Jones' problems in these spots have gotten so rough that his prime-time career now resembles the overall NFL career of Bryce Young, whose early struggles are well documented.

Jones' struggles have been magnified on "Monday Night Football." He is 0-8 in his career on "Monday Night Football," the worst record by any quarterback all-time.
