'Frustrated' Daniel Jones off the mark in Giants' loss - ESPN

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants had a miserable evening Monday night, but perhaps the worst moment was when quarterback Daniel Jones threw an interception that was returned 97 yards for a touchdown by Seattle rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon.

Afterwards, coach Brian Daboll was seen on camera sending a firm message to his quarterback, first as Jones walked off the field and again on the bench. Daboll eventually flipped the tablet away in disgust.

The Giants (1-3) were at Seattle's five-yard line at the time and threatening to make it a one-score game with 1:19 remaining in the third quarter. But Jones fired the ball left to Parris Campbell near the hashmark and it hit Witherspoon in the chest.

Daboll wouldn't get into specifics on the play. But when asked what he wanted Jones to do, his answer was blunt.

«Obviously not throw an interception,» Daboll said.

Jones called the throw a «terrible decision and awful mistake» that he can't afford making. It all but put the game away and left the Giants without a touchdown in either of their first two home games. New York has now been outscored 64-3 in its two home games this season. Only the 1975 Chargers scored fewer points in the Super Bowl era (0) in their first two home games. Witherspoon seemed to know what was coming on the crucial play.
