Interception
The pass slipped out of the hands of rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger and safety awaited Bengals safety Dax Hill. It appeared to hit the ground, but after review, the call was upheld on the ground.
Most agreed that the interception was not the DJ’s fault, but not everyone’s.
Jones himself was among those who blamed Jones for the interception. Like Eli Manning before him, Jones takes the blame for all the mistakes on the field.
“I can probably do a better job getting the ball down and I know he’ll play like that and we’ll get through it,” Jones told reporters after the game. “He has a good camp and he’s going to be a good player.”
