In a dismal 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants coach Brian Daboll benched quarterback Daniel Jones for the first time based on performance. Despite committing to Jones as the starter going forward, Daboll expressed doubts about the offense turning around under Jones’ leadership. The Giants offense has been struggling, averaging a meager 14.1 points per game.
Jones, who signed a lucrative contract in 2023, faces uncertainty as the Giants failed to land a top quarterback in the draft. With the team’s record now 2-5 and 0-3 against NFC East opponents, questions loom over Jones’ future as the Giants signal-caller.
The Giants defense also showed cracks in the loss to the Eagles, with cornerback Deonte Banks drawing criticism for lack of effort. Daboll described the team as being “outcoached” and made questionable decisions during the game.
With the offensive line collapsing and the Giants failing to capitalize on opportunities, the future looks uncertain for a team that has struggled to find success in recent years. Despite the disappointing loss, Daboll remains determined to address the team’s issues and find a way forward.
