Daniel Jones’ prime-time woes continue against the Bengals: Giants QB with worst record under lights since 1970

Daniel Jones and the New York Giants lost another game in prime time Sunday night, most recently against the Cincinnati Bengals, continuing a terrible trend.

While Jones has put up solid numbers in recent weeks, including a big road win at Seattle in Week 5, his primetime production is a different story. In fact, few quarterbacks have had more problems when operating under the lights in nationally televised games. Here’s a look at the numbers:

Worst primetime records since 1970 among QBs with 10+ starts

Daniel Jones	1-14	.071
Andy Dalton	6-21	.222
Jeff George	5-17	.227
Ken Anderson	3-10	.231

Jones’ only prime-time win was against the Commanders in December 2022, a 20-12 win that ended with a questionable non-call – a possible Giants pass interference in the end zone on fourth down as the Commanders were about to tie the game Game.

With this win, Jones ended his nine-game losing streak in prime time early in his career. It’s also long forgotten, especially after the Giants opened the 2023 season with an embarrassing 40-point loss on “Sunday Night Football” to the Cowboys and then looked weak in the 2024 season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
