Daniel Jones and the New York Giants lost yet another game on prime time on Sunday night, the latest coming against the Cincinnati Bengals, continuing a horrific trend.
While Jones has had solid numbers the last few weeks, including a big win on the road in Seattle in Week 5, his prime-time production is another story. In fact, few quarterbacks have had more trouble when operating under the lights for nationally televised matchups. Here’s a look at the numbers:

Jones’ only win in prime time was against the Commanders in December 2022, a 20-12 victory that ended on a questionable non-call — potential pass interference on the Giants in the end zone on fourth down with the Commanders driving to tie the game.
That win snapped Jones’ nine-game losing streak in prime time to begin his career. It’s also been long forgotten, especially after the Giants opened the 2023 season with an embarrassing 40-point loss on “Sunday Night Football” against the Cowboys, then had a 2024 season-opening dud against the Minnesota Vikings.
