Giants' Daniel Jones tops Eli Manning's best rushing year in single game
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had a solid game even in a loss against the Washington Football Team on Thursday night.
Jones was 22-for-32 with 249 passing yards and a touchdown pass. He didn’t throw an interception, nor did he fumble the ball, and that’s a win for someone who is among the leaders in turnovers since he entered the league in 2019.
Where Jones really excelled was his ability to run the ball. Even with a depleted offensive line where he had Washington defensive end Chase Young busting through the blockers, Jones was able to run the run-pass option and scamper for big gains. He finished with 95 rushing yards on nine carries with a touchdown and would've had two if one of them didn't get called back because of a bogus holding penalty.

One interesting stat that was noted during the Giants’ 30-29 loss was Jones’ rushing yards. He had more rushing yards in one night than his predecessor, Eli Manning, ever had in a single season.
