Who tumbled better, Daniel Jones or Randy Arozarena?

The Turf Monster has struck twice this week, biting Daniel Jones and Randy Arozarena.

The Turf Monster’s teeth have been in full force this week.

First, it took down the Giants’ Daniel Jones as he was headed for the end zone Thursday. The touchdown turned into an 80-yard run that will go down in Internet infamy as Big Blue lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, 22-21.

Then, Saturday in Game 4 of the World Series, the Tampa Bay Rays won 8-7 over the Los Angeles Dodgers on one of the most incredible — insane? — plays.

With two out and first and second, Brett Phillips singled to right-center, Kevin Kiermaier scored to tie the game. However, Chris Taylor booted the hit and Randy Arozarena flew around the bases … turning around third and heading home.

Enter Turf Monster, II.

Arozarena went flying face first and appeared to be dead, caught in a rundown at best.

However, Dodgers catcher Will Smith thought he would have to make a swipe tag on the charging Ray and misplayed the throw.

Arozarena somehow pulled himself together and headed home, diving across the plate with the winning run. He slapped home plate repetitively after the wild finish that left the World Series tied at 2 games apiece.

So, the question is who did it better, Jones or Arozarena?

The answer: The Ray, of course, because he scored while the Giants’ quarterback came up eight yards short.

Watch: Patrick Mahomes with brilliant analysis of Daniel Jones’ embarrassing 80-yard run

An 80-yard run by Daniel Jones will somehow wind up on the Football Follies video of 2020.

Patrick Mahomes is beginning to display a Tom Brady touch on social media.

The Chiefs’ QB and Super Bowl MVP said what every other quarterback was thinking Thursday after New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones was swallowed by the Turf Monster en route to the end zone on what turned out to be a hilarious — shameful? — end to an 80-yard run.

Hall of Famer Deion Sanders chimed in on the fiasco.

So how did we get here with the former Duke star, who executed his options perfectly. Once he broke the line of scrimmage there was no Eagle in sight.

He was gone, 50, 40, 30, 20….nothing but air in front of the Giants’ quarterback.

And, then, the quarterback was heading to the turf on his own accord.

Rumbling, bumbling, and stumbling. A microcosm of a team and a division.

The call as heard on FOX Desortes:

Fortunately for Jones, the Giants caught a break on a pass interference call on third down and Wayne Gallman found the end zone to give them a 14-10 lead following the TD.

It was the fourth-longest run in Giants’ history and the longest by a quarterback. It beat Saquon Barkley’s best effort by two yards.

The faster you go the harder you fall?
