In his first live action since recovering from a torn ACL, New York Giants' quarterback Daniel Jones had a rocky start, throwing two interceptions in the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Houston Texans. Despite some improvement later in the game, the Giants ultimately suffered a 28-10 loss.

Jones' initial pass should have been intercepted, foreshadowing the challenges he would face throughout the match. The Texans took advantage of his mistakes, returning one interception for an easy walk-in touchdown. It was a nightmarish start for the young quarterback, who is entering a make-or-break year for the Giants.

The Giants' head coach and play-caller, Brian Daboll, acknowledged the shaky start but praised Jones' physical recovery. Despite the disappointing performance, Jones expressed optimism, stating that he felt good physically and was confident in his ability to correct his mistakes.

The offensive strategy for the Giants included a focus on play-action and deep passes to test the team's offensive line and to experience the pressure of live games. However, this approach didn't yield the desired results, as Jones struggled with accuracy and decision-making.

One costly error came when Jones held onto the ball for too long, resulting in a safety as he was dragged down in the end zone. Another interception followed shortly after, as Jones made a poor throw that was undercut by Derek Stingley Jr. Despite these setbacks, Jones showed signs of physical improvement as he scrambled for a 12-yard gain.

Rookie receiver Malik Nabers had a mixed performance, with two incomplete passes thrown his way early in the game. However, Nabers rebounded and showcased his skills with four catches for 54 yards later in the match. Jones commended Nabers' performance, highlighting his impressive catches and contribution to the offense.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans decided to pull his defensive starters after the first quarter, allowing the Giants some momentum in their offensive game. Jones led scoring drives of 68 and 64 yards, resulting in a touchdown by Devin Singletary and a field goal by Graham Gano.

As the game progressed into the second half, Jones was replaced by Tommy DeVito at quarterback. Unfortunately, the Giants struggled with turnovers, committing three in total.

With their preseason schedule potentially coming to a close, the Giants face the challenge of addressing their weaknesses and making improvements. For Daniel Jones, this season will be crucial in proving his worth as the Giants' franchise quarterback.
