Only two of them have thrown just two interceptions – Tampa Bay’s Tom Brady and the Giants’ Daniel Jones. Yes, Jones is mingling with some impressive company. After throwing 29 interceptions in his first 37 career starts, Jones has tossed just two picks in nine games this season, covering 237 throws. His last was on the Giants’ final offensive play against Dallas on Sept. 26. In the six games since, he has thrown 145 passes and none of them were caught by a defensive player. That is the second-longest streak of his career, surpassed only by the 177 consecutive passes he threw without an interception in the 2020 season. Has Jones been more focused on avoiding turnovers and more careful with the ball? Has coach Brian Daboll put more emphasis on Jones reducing his interceptions? “I think all those things, probably,” Jones said yesterday. “I think trying to be smarter seeing coverage and understanding when to take shots (and) when not to. That’s something that I talk with (quarterbacks coach) Shea (Tierney) a lot in our quarterbacks meetings. We talk to Kaf (offensive coordinator Mike Kafka) a lot, too. I think they’ve done a great job of helping me understand when those situations are, when we’re going to take shots and when we’re going to be more aggressive. And when we’re not (going to be aggressive), we’re going to take care of the ball. “I still try to do that better every week. I think I’ve had some decisions that still haven’t been great – haven’t been the best thing to do with the ball. So, I’ll look at those and I’ll try to clean those up.” Click here to read more about Daniel Jones' success this season
