Daniel Jones and the New York Giants are looking for their second straight victory on Thursday night against the rival Dallas Cowboys, but they’ll also be trying to buck a trend for the Big Blue signal-caller.
While Jones had solid numbers in Week 3, protecting the ball to help the Giants beat the Cleveland Browns, 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.
