2.) Daniel Jones

Daniel Jones’ performance in week three was problematic on multiple levels. On one side, he led the team in rushing yards with 49, but he also threw one interception and didn’t make it into the red-zone once. He had a disappointing 53% completion rate but was only sacked twice, which is the lowest this year, so far.

Jones set a career-low in accuracy against the 49ers, and the matchup was actually favorable for Big Blue considering San Francisco was missing so many players. Jones throwing up a dud in the contest was not motivating, but he can back up his tumultuous game with a strong outing against Los Angeles. A lot rides on the offensive line playing to their strengths, so offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has to do a better job getting the ball downfield and taking risks to open up opposing defenses.
