Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones spent part of Super Bowl weekend playing cornhole in south Florida.
Darnold and Jones competed in the American Cornhole League Challenge on Friday night. The event aired on Sunday at 5:00 p.m. EST on ESPN2. Darnold and his partner, professional cornhole player Matthew Sorrells, bested Jones and his teammate to win the challenge.
If you include cornhole — and why wouldn’t you? — Darnold is now 2-0 in his career against Jones. The two squared off in the NFL regular season; Darnold and the Jets took down Jones and the Giants, 34-27.

Darnold led the Jets to a 7-9 record in 2019 after the team started 1-7 on the season. The 22-year-old quarterbacks started in 13 games and threw for over 3,000 yards to go along with 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
As for Jones, he had a solid rookie season out of Duke. Jones also threw for over 3,000 yards to go with 24 passing touchdowns and 12 interceptions. However, the Giants finished with a 4-12 record and missed the playoffs for the third straight year.
Darnold and Jones will have to wait a few more years to compete against each other on the football field unless the two meet up in the Super Bowl. For now, it’s Darnold who has the bragging rights over Jones.
