The duel between ex-New York Jets QB Sam Darnold and New York Giants’ QB Daniel Jones at MetLife was lackluster.
The Carolina Panthers and Big Blue had combined for all of 8 points deep into the third quarter.
Time to pull out any trick you had in the playbook, even if it meant the quarterback who was concussed on a savage hit a couple of weeks ago turning into a receiver.
Jones did his part on the play and Dante Pettis threw the ball to the quarterback, who made a dazzling grab and took another wicked shot.

Jones returned the favor later in the drive, connecting with Pettis from 5 yards to give the Giants a 12-3 lead after the PAT.
