Daniel Jones' prime-time terror: Giants QB with worst record under lights since 1970

Daniel Jones and the New York Giants will be looking for their second straight win against the rival Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night, but they will also look to buck the Big Blue's signal-calling trend.

While Jones had solid numbers and defended the ball in Week 3 to help the Giants beat the Cleveland Browns, his performance in prime time is a different story. In fact, few quarterbacks have had more problems when operating under the lights in nationally televised games. Here's a look at the numbers:

Jones' only prime-time win was against the Commanders in December 2022, a 20-12 win that ended with a questionable non-call – a possible pass interference by the Giants in the end zone on fourth down as the Commanders were about to tie the game Game.

With this win, Jones ended his nine-game losing streak in prime time early in his career. It's also long forgotten, especially after the Giants opened the 2023 season with an embarrassing 40-point loss on “Sunday Night Football” to the Cowboys and then looked weak in the 2024 season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
