New York Giants starting quarterback Daniel Jones was back under center Saturday for the first time since last November when a torn ACL ended his 2023 season. So how did the former No. 6 overall pick look in his return?

Not great.

Jones, who signed a four-year, $160 million contract last March, threw two interceptions, including one of the worst pick-sixes you'll ever see. Jones tried to escape some pressure in the end zone before airing a brutal pass that was intercepted by Houston's Jalen Pitre, who strolled into the end zone for the touchdown.
