Giants' Daniel Jones blows chance to score wide-open touchdown vs. Eagles, Wayne Gallman salvages drive
It was the biggest play the team had all game up to that point
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Daniel Jones had the play of the game for the New York Giants in the third quarter.
Jones ran the ball through the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense on a smart quarterback-keeper and had a wide-open field in front of him for an easy touchdown – or so everyone thought.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The second-year quarterback was running so fast and lost his balance, falling just 8 yards short of what would have been the go-ahead touchdown. It was a pretty embarrassing play for a team that had struggled on offense. Luckily, the 80-yard run didn’t go to waste.
Social media had all the jokes for Jones and the NFC East in general after the play.
