Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has a free run for the touchdown – but then …
There is no more appropriate scene to summarize the New York Giants season so far. The NFL team from the world metropolis only has one win after seven games. Against the Philadelphia Eagles it is a defeat – wafer-thin with 21:22. The bogeyman of the day: Quarterback Daniel Jones.

The 23-year-old had the chance to put the Giants in the lead in the third quarter. He ran through an open hole in the Eagles defensive, sprinting over 80 yards. Actually a sensational achievement. But as always in this Giants season, it didn’t work out in the end. Jones was eight yards from the end zone when he inexplicably tripped and went down. New York took the lead later, but was unable to keep the lead over time.
Of course, the Jones Run memes weren’t long in coming.
