As you might expect, Daniel Jones was at a loss for words when trying to explain what happened during his 80-yard run that the Eagles lost to New York’s weekly Seven Weeks on Thursday night. To play in the third quarter: 5: 51 With Jones designing the length of the field almost and, for a moment, it seemed like the end zone was on an easy street to finish. Around the 30-yard line, however, Jones stumbled and eventually parted ways with Philadelphia’s eight-yard line.
Naturally, Jones was the instant butt of many jokes on social media, as he decides to score before moving on in his own way. Luckily for him and for the Giants ’offense, Wayne Gelman had to punch in a touchdown so no real damage was done. However, he is not sure how his legs were deceiving him.
“I just … I don’t know. I tried to run faster than I could and I got caught,” Jones said. Told reporters postgame “We finished the drive and made a touchdown. It was a relief.”
To Jones’ credit, he was running like the wind. In fact, it stalled at a top speed of 21.23 mph during that dash, the fastest pace by any quarterback since the 2018 season. It is only the fifth quarterback in the last 25 years to run 80 or more yards in a game. The loss for Jones, however, is that he is the only group that has not found the end zone.
After that touchdown by Gellman, Jones was able to lead the Giants on a 97-yard drive that gave New York a 21-10 lead with about 6 minutes to go into the game, but that wasn’t enough to stop the Eagles. Carson Wentz and Company hit 12 unanswered points, with an 18-yard forward touchdown pass over Boston Scott with 40 seconds left to help Philadelphia win. Jones finished with 187 yards, two touchdowns, two turnovers and 92 yards on the ground.
“It’s tough To swallow us, “he said.” We found a way to finish the game on crime. “
From here, New York will head to MetLife Stadium again and wait for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who plan to wrap up the 8th week in Monday night football on.
