New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones did not have a performance worthy of remembering on Sunday, tossing three crucial interceptions in a 31-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, while adding another fumble to his record for good measure.
That’s not to say it was all bad, however.
While there are some out there crushing Jones for struggling in the snow, there were quite a few positives to take away from the game. The rookies had several impressive highlight reel-like throws, he tossed a touchdown for the 10th consecutive game and he proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s tough as nails.
Still, it’s difficult for anyone to overlook three interceptions in a loss, so that will be what defines Jones this week. And having experienced that himself over the years, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers offered up some blunt advice when the two met at mid-field after the game.

That’s really all Jones can do with this one — learn from it.
“I feel like I’m making progress. Obviously, there’s still a lot to work on, and I understand that. But I feel like I’m improving. The challenge is to continue to do that, but do it faster and play more consistently,” Jones told reporters after the game.
Despite what some may try to feed you, there’s a lot to like about Jones and the future is clearly bright for him.
