Daniel Jones and the Giants Return to Form in Washington

LANDOVER, Md. — Daniel Jones put together the best performance of his rookie season fresh off an ankle injury, throwing for 352 yards with five touchdown passes in the Giants’ 41-35 overtime victory against the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon.

Jones was 28 of 42 in his first action since missing the past two games with a sprained right ankle. He tossed two touchdowns to Kaden Smith — including the game-winner — and connected with Sterling Shepard, Saquon Barkley and Cody Latimer. His career-best fifth touchdown pass, 3 yards to Smith, came with 4 minutes 15 seconds left in overtime after the Redskins (3-12) tied it in the final minute of regulation.

Barkley was the perfect complement for Jones and tormented a Redskins secondary missing several regulars. He was responsible for 279 total yards: 189 rushing and 90 receiving and a score each way.

Barkley came into the game with just one run of 40-plus yards this season. He busted out a 32-yard run on the Giants’ first possession and turned Redskins safety Montae Nicholson inside out during a 67-yard touchdown on his fourth carry.
