Devon Witherspoon gives a brutal justification for Daniel Jones’ pick-six.
On Monday Night Football, New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones threw two interceptions, one of which Seattle Seahawks rookie Devon Witherspoon returned for a touchdown of 97 yards.
In their resounding 24-3 road victory over the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, Seattle Seahawks rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon acknowledged that the team’s game plan was to take advantage of Daniel Jones’ propensity for staring down his targets.
One of the ten times the Seahawks sacked the quarterback of the Giants was due to Witherspoon, a 22-year-old. He was also the one who intercepted Jones and then ran 97 yards past the New York defense to complete a third-quarter pick-six, which increased their lead before the fourth quarter.
Quandre Diggs, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, selected the Giants quarterback again in the fourth round.
To top off a forgettable evening, Jones also suffered financial consequences for his misdeeds.
The Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and he both have six interceptions after four games, which ties them for the most in the league.
Only Sam Howell of the Washington Commanders, with 24 sacks, has more than his 22.
Teams now know exactly how Witherspoon’s double-digit sacks of Jones were accomplished.
Out on the field, the rookie told NFL Network, “We were just trusting in our game plan that the coach laid out for us.”.
“We knew he liked to stare down his first target, so he had his back turned, and our guys went and won their one-on-one matches upfront,” said the narrator.
Our D-line deserves a shoutout.
They were essential to the plays we were able to make.
“.
Witherspoon acknowledged that they had prepared for what was going to happen on the six-pick.
He described the play to reporters by saying, “Just running the coverage.
“We watched the play in that formation that we had seen on film.
I jumped it when he ran a return route. He simply attempted to reach the ball after throwing it.
My entire perspective was that.
Jones called that choice and error “a terrible decision and awful mistake.
“.
On the sidelines, Giants head coach Brian Daboll was equally unimpressed and immediately chastised his quarterback. Jones addressed that aspect of the evening by saying, “I think we’re all frustrated.”.
“I know I need to play better, and I’m going to work as hard as I can to do that.
“.
He later increased his bet.
Jones said, “I didn’t play well enough.
“I have to make it right because it was unacceptable and I failed the team.
To get it right, I’ll have to put in a lot of effort, and I’ll do that.
“.
The Giants’ difficult schedule continues for the remainder of the season.
After being destroyed 48-20 by the Buffalo Bills, the Miami Dolphins are the team to visit next.
The following week, they make their way back up the East Coast to take on the Bills before the month of October comes to an end with a two-game homestand.
Before playing the New York Jets, they host NFC East rival Washington.
