Calling it a „terrible decision and awful mistake,“ New York quarterback Daniel Jones spoke about a game-changing interception Monday night that was returned for a touchdown in the Seattle Seahawks‘ convincing 24-7 win over the Giants at MetLife Stadium.
— The New York Giants had a miserable evening Monday night, but perhaps the worst moment was when quarterback Daniel Jones threw an interception that was returned 97 yards for a touchdown by Seattle rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon.
Afterwards, coach Brian Daboll was seen on camera sending a firm message to his quarterback, first as Jones walked off the field and again on the bench. Daboll eventually flipped the tablet away in disgust.
„I was trying to show him, kind of, see what he thought, and then tell him what I saw,“ Daboll said calmly after the 24-3 loss at MetLife Stadium.
The Giants (1-3) were at Seattle’s five-yard line at the time and threatening to make it a one-score game with 1:19 remaining in the third quarter. But Jones fired the ball left to Parris Campbell near the hashmark and it hit Witherspoon in the chest.
Daboll wouldn’t get into specifics on the play.
