BREAKING: Giants Are Benching QB Daniel Jones, Will Start Tommy DeVito vs Buccaneers

Daniel Jones era in New York has come to an end.

The team will be benching Jones as their starting quarterback and will go start Tommy DeVito on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jones, the No. 6 overall selection of the 2019 NFL Draft, has been the Giants’ starting quarterback since taking over for Eli Manning in Week 3 of his rookie season.

In 10 starts this season, Jones has thrown just eight touchdowns to seven interceptions, having gone without a TD pass in six games. He’s thrown for 2,070 yards, just 6.1 yards per attempt and has a 79.4 passer rating.

DeVito, meanwhile, started six games for the team last season with a 3-3 record, throwing for 1,101 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions.

Jones’ final start came in Munich, with the Giants losing to the Panthers as Jones threw a pair of interceptions.

Across five-plus seasons, Jones’ QB record sits at 24-44-1, having completed 1,437 of 2,241 passes (64.1%) for 14,582 yards, 70 touchdowns and 47 interceptions to go along with 2,179 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns.

The Giants will now be on the look for a new quarterback this offseason.
