New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones probably wishes his Week 1 game against the Minnesota Vikings could have been back on Sunday.
Jones completed 22 of 42 passes for 186 yards and two interceptions in the 28-6 loss.
One of the interceptions came off a lazy screen play, and Vikings linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel timed the route perfectly to intercept the pass and set up a touchdown.

The play drew a lot of criticism for the Giants and Jones.
“I was trying to get the ball out to Wan'Dale Robinson on a screen, and I'll look at the ball and see if I can get it out quicker,” Jones said of the play.
Kicker Graham Gano was the only player to score for the G-Men, going 2-for-2 on the day.

The Vikings outplayed the Giants on offense, with veteran quarterback Sam Darnold completing 19 of 24 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns.
Justin Jefferson and Jalen Naylor each had a touchdown catch. Jefferson caught four passes for 59 yards and Naylor's lone catch was a 21-yard touchdown. Running back Aaron Jones, who was acquired from the Green Bay Packers in the offseason, also ran for a score, rushing for 94 yards.
