*Jones is one of 15 quarterbacks with at least 275 combined passes and rushing attempts this season. His four turnovers tie him with Geno Smith for the third-lowest total among those 15 players, behind Jalen Hurts (2) and Brady (3).
*Jones is doing more than just avoiding turnovers this season. His five game-winning drives in fourth quarter or overtime this season are the most in the league. Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins and Matt Ryan are tied for second with three.
*Through eight games this season, Jones has thrown and completed fewer passes than at the same juncture in the first three seasons. His completion percentage is the highest of his career and his passer rating is virtually tied for his career best. Jones is also on pace to shatter his career standard in rushing yards.
*Jones’ 363 rushing yards are just 60 less than the Giants’ record for a quarterback in the Super Bowl era, set by Jones two years ago:
