Heading into Sunday, New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones hadn't thrown a touchdown at MetLife Stadium in 672 days.
His streak finally ended in the second quarter against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Jones found tight end Chris Manhertz on a two-yard play, giving their home fans the first live view of a passing touchdown from their quarterback since Week 16 of the 2022 season.
Here's a look at the trip to the end zone:

With a touchdown on the board, you would think Jones would have at least a few passing yards in his stat line, but think again. Jones was 4-for-4 with one touchdown and zero, yes zero, passing yards at one point during the game. He is the first player since at least 2000 to have a passing touchdown and no passing yards in a half.
