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.
