Daniel Jones Leads Giants Over Cardinals 31-28

They entered the Week 2 game against the Cardinals and the first two quarters were an extension of the Week 1 beatdown at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys with Arizona scoring on all but one drive and taking a 20-0 lead into halftime.

The futility was highlighted by a Daniel Jones interception that went right off the hands of running back Saquon Barkley for the second consecutive week.

The Giants did come out in the third quarter and show some fire on the shoulders of Jones, but each time they punched, the Cardinals punched right back. 

The defense picked up stops when they needed it and the Giants offense, which couldn’t buy a point for six quarters to start the season, scored on five consecutive drives.

QB Aaron Rodgers Done for Season

The quarterback was injured on his fourth play of the Jets’ opening game. Head coach Robert Saleh told reporters following the Jets’ 22-16 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills that the the four-time NFL MVP tore his Achilles tendon. 

The injury will be season-ending. On the Jets’ first drive Monday night,  Rodgers was injured and helped off the field by trainers. After a visit to the blue medical tent, he was carted to the locker room. After initially being labeled as questionable to return with an ankle injury, he was later downgraded to out.

Rodgers suffered the injury after being sacked by veteran pass rusher Leonard Floyd on a first-and-10 with 11:40 remaining in the first quarter.
