The New York Giants had a brutal night filled with missed opportunities in their 24-3 loss on "Monday Night Football" in Week 4. Not only did the loss move them to 1-3 on the season, but they had numerous opportunities to cut into Seattle’s lead and crucial turnovers shifted any hope of a comeback.
Unfortunately for quarterback Daniel Jones, he was the culprit on two of those critical turnovers. And with just over one minute remaining in the third quarter and the Giants down 14-3 on Seattle’s five-yard line, Jones threw an awful 97-yard pick-six to Devon Witherspoon to put New York down 21-3 heading into the fourth quarter.
Here’s a look at the play:

Unfortunately, that was just the start of it, as Giants coach Brian Daboll looked completely baffled as his quarterback walked off the field.

That was just one of the scenes from this game, as Jones also fumbled on his own 25-yard line when the score was still 0-0 in the first quarter. Then later in the fourth quarter, trailing 21-3, Jones threw another interception from inside his own territory to essentially wrap this game up.
For good measure, here’s one more look at an obviously frustrated Daboll while showing Jones something on one of the tablets, who then proceeds to toss the device in the direction of the coach speaking with the quarterback.

Jones finished the night with 203 passing yards on 27-of-34 attempts with two interceptions and was sacked a shocking 10 times by the Seahawks defense. He did rush for 66 yards, but the turnovers in key areas completely destroyed any chance the Giants had of keeping this game close.
