New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and Jets signal-caller, Sam Darnold, faced off in a cornhole match on Friday night down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The two met at an American Cornhole League challenge that will be aired on ESPN2 at 5:00 p.m. EST on Sunday, so if you’re looking for riveting television to hold you over until the start of the Super Bowl, you now know where to look.
If life happens to get in the way, don’t worry, we have spoilers.
Ahead of the matchup, Darnold and Jones took part in some light trash talk, but the Jets quarterback ended up getting the last laugh.
Darnold and his partner, professional cornhole player Matthew Sorrells, went on to defeat Jones and his teammate.

And, after also defeating Jones during the regular season, Darnold now sports a 2-0 record against his crosstown rival — that is, if we’re including a cornhole match (we’re not).
Jones was taken with the No. 6 overall pick by the Giants in the 2019 NFL Draft, while Darnold was the No. 3 overall selection of the Jets back in 2018.
Both quarterbacks certainly showed flashes during the 2019 campaign, but both also showed their warts. Jones had issues with fumbling, and Darnold was seeing ghosts. Clearly Darnold didn’t see any on Friday night, though.
