Daniel Jones is the current toast of the Big Apple after leading the New York Giants to a dramatic victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His fantastic performance in his first start for the franchise.
The team is celebrating his fantastic outing, but tight end Evan Engram had other ideas when it came to celebrating the team's win.
He filmed going to the rookie's locker and jokingly stole his first two touchdown balls.
That's not nice đ

Of course, Engram's actions were just a joke. It only showed how integrated the former Blue Devil has become to the Giants roster. His impressive showing against the Bucs should only increase his status on the team.
Jones performed in his first start for the team. While his 63.89% completion rate leaves a lot to be desired, he made up for it with 336 passing yards and two touchdowns. He was also effective out of the pocket, notching 28 yards on four attempts. He also made two rushing TDs, one of which was the game-winner the Giants needed to squeeze past the Bucs.
Engram was also fantastic this game. He managed to complete 113 receiving yards and a superb 75-yard receiving touchdown that was vital in completing the comeback.
Jones didn't only give the Giants the win; he also helped them achieve something that no other QB has done for quite a while. This game was the first time in about 50 years that the Giants won after trailing by 18 or more points at half-time.
The future is bright for Daniel Jones' tenure as a Giant. He and his teammates will do everything they can to make sure this run is a successful one.
