Daniel Jones cemented his Giants career with the funniest Daniel Jones TD stat ever

Daniel Jones is likely playing out the string in what surely feels like another lost season for the New York Giants. The former first-round quarterback has seldom shown that he’s the answer, and he’s probably the main reason (by far) the 2024 Giants, once again, have no hope.

But by golly, Jones will definitely go out swinging as one of the NFL’s accidental funniest quarterbacks.

On Sunday, as the rival Washington Commanders laid down a first-half butt-whooping, Jones managed to get his team on the board with a touchdown pass to tight end Chris Manhertz. The amusing part of this touchdown was that Jones otherwise immensely struggled against the Washington defense. So much so that he happened to have zero net passing yards through 30 minutes of play.

This made Jones the first NFL quarterback in over 30 years to finish a half with a touchdown and no passing yards. Oh, my goodness. That is hilarious:

Via NFL research, #Giants QB Daniel Jones is the first QB since 1991 to have 0 or fewer pass yards and 1+ pass TD in the 1st half of a game with 5+ pass attempts.

If I were to pick any current NFL quarterback out of a lineup to accomplish this “impressive” stat, it would be Jones. Hands down. Kudos to the Giants’ signal-caller for providing some unique entertainment as his New York career likely winds down.
