Offense

OK, somebody has to say it: There have been instances when Daniel Jones dominated the sport. He threw it (19 of 30, 202 yards, 1 TD) and boy, did he run it (11-107).

There was a season-high 436 complete yards. Darius Slayton (3-58) confirmed the deep menace he might be on the 32-yard TD to open the sport. Kudos to rookie Josh Ezeudu and backup Tyre Phillips for stepping in when Ben Bredeson and Evan Neal went down and out with accidents.

The Giants outscored the Jaguars 10-0 within the fourth quarter, persevering with to indicate they're at their greatest for Brian Daboll the later it will get.
