WOW! Daniel Jones Throws a Dime to Darius Slayton as Giants Take the Lead Against Washington

There was a lot of pressure on Jason Garrett and the New York Giants ahead of the 2021 NFL season. The NFC East franchise narrowly missed out on the playoffs last season. They ended their campaign with a 6-10 record and finished second in their division behind Washington Football Team.

Quarterback Daniel Jones had a busy offseason. He’s been working in close tandem with WRs Darius Slayton and Kenny Golladay over the summer. The chemistry between the trio was evident as Giants traveled to the national capital to face Washington on Thursday night.

And as destiny would have it, Jones found Slayton to hand his team a slender lead in what is turning out to be a thrilling affair.
