Of course, Daniel Jones’ meeting with the Turf Monster on Twitter wouldn’t go unmentioned.
The Giants sophomore quarterback looked like he was on his way to a long touchdown run in the third quarter of the 22:21 loss to the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia until he stumbled in the open without being Defense attorneys were nearby.
He had to settle for an 80-yard shot that started at the 12-yard line and ended with his fall at 8. Fortunately for Jones, the Giants scored four games later in Wayne Gallman’s 1-yard touchdown run, which gave them a 14-10 lead at the time.
While the gaffe didn’t taste Big Blue, it didn’t stop Twitter from exploding. Here is a selection of some of the reactions:
???? He stumbled just like the people in horror movies when they run away from the bad guy / bad guy …

He hit 21 mph in the game, which is a 4.6 40, damn fast for a 6’5 QB

He gained ground against these two defenders.
