Giants, Daniel Jones home-away splits so ridiculously uneven theyre hard to fathom

It is something Daniel Jones says he enjoys. “I do like playing on the road — I’ve always liked playing on the road,’’ the Giants’ beleaguered quarterback said Thursday after practice.“Even back to college or high school.

I think that’s pretty common with a lot of guys.Playing on the road and going into someone else’s stadium.’’ There might be something to this and maybe, perhaps, possibly, it can be a boon to Jones, the anemic offense and the Giants in Monday night’s meeting with the Steelers in Pittsburgh. The splits for Jones at home and the road are ridiculously uneven, so much so that they make no sense — unless there is a belief that Jones tightens up so badly when hostility and unrest from Giants fans cascades down from the seats that he barely can function. “I don’t have a theory on it,’’ Jones said. In four home games this season, all losses, Jones has completed 60.4 percent of his passes, with no touchdowns, four interceptions and 15 sacks.
