[20] On July 22, 2019, Jones signed his four-year rookie contract, worth $25.664 million, including a $16.7 million signing bonus. [21] Despite a stellar preseason, Jones was named the backup behind Eli Manning. [22] Jones played his first regular season game on September 8, 2019, against the Dallas Cowboys in relief of Manning, where he completed 3-of-4 passes for 17 yards and lost a fumble as the Giants lost 35–17. [23] On September 17, 2019, Jones was named the starter over Manning for the week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. [24] In his first start, Jones completed 23 out of 36 passes for 336 yards with a 112.7 passer rating and two passing touchdowns along with 28 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns in a 32–31 comeback win against the Buccaneers despite losing two fumbles. [25] He became the first Giants' rookie quarterback to win his first career start since Scott Brunner in 1980. Jones led the Giants back from an 18-point deficit to beat the Buccaneers and became the seventh rookie quarterback in NFL history since 2010 to have a game-winning drive in their first career start. [26] [27] He was also named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in week 3. [28] Jones throwing a pass against the Washington Redskins in 2019 On September 29, in his second start (and first start at home), Jones led the Giants to a 24–3 victory over the Washington Redskins. After the game, Jones became the third quarterback in the Giants' history after Phil Simms (1979) and Travis Tidwell (1950) to begin their career with two wins as a starting quarterback for the franchise. [29] Jones played his first game on prime time on Thursday Night Football in week 6 against the New England Patriots. In the game, Jones threw for 161 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions in the 35–14 loss.

[38] In Week 7 against the Eagles, in the third quarter, Jones ran for an impressive 80 yards on a single play, before losing his balance and tripping on the turf near the endzone. Despite the trip, this rush became the longest run in Giants' quarterback history. [39] Jones hit a top speed of 21.23 mph (34.17 km/h), the fastest by an NFL quarterback since 2018 (Lamar Jackson). [40] In Week 10 against Philadelphia, Jones threw for 244 yards and rushed for 64 yards, including a 34-yard rushing touchdown, during the 27–17 win. [41] Jones injured his hamstring in the third quarter of Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals, causing him to miss the rest of the game and the following game against the Seattle Seahawks. [42] He also missed Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns, after suffering an ankle injury against the Arizona Cardinals the week before. [43] In Week 17, in a game against the Cowboys, Jones had one of his best performances of his young career, completing 17-of-25 passes for 229 yards, 2 touchdowns, and an interception in a 23–19 win. Jones also helped drive the Giants down the field, to set up a jet sweep touchdown to Sterling Shepard. Additionally, this was the first time that the Giants had beat the Cowboys since the 2016 season, and helped the Giants finish with their best record since the 2016 season. The Giants finished the season at 6–10, and missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year after the Washington Football Team beat the Eagles later that day.

[45] Against the Washington Football Team on Thursday Night Football , Jones threw for 249 yards, rushed for 95 yards, and had two touchdowns, but miscues by the Giants would cost them a pair of touchdowns and haunt them as the Giants lost 29–30. [46] Against the New Orleans Saints, Jones threw for a career-high 402 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception as the Giants won 27–21 in overtime. [47] As a result of his performance, Jones was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

[55] As a result of his performance, Jones was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for week 7. [56] In week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings, Jones threw for 334 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in the 27–24 loss.

[60] After winning the Wild Card Round against the Vikings 31–24, Jones made NFL history by becoming the first player ever with 300+ passing yards, two+ touchdown passes, and 70+ rushing yards in a playoff game. The Giants won their first playoff game since 2011. [4] The Giants saw their season end in the Divisional Round, a 38–7 loss to the Eagles. Jones threw for 135 yards and one interception in the loss. [61] 2023 See also: 2023 New York Giants season On March 7, 2023, Jones signed a four-year, $160 million contract extension with the Giants. [62] In Week 5, he sustained a neck injury in a loss to the Miami Dolphins. Having missed three games, he returned in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders; however, he injured his knee in the first quarter, before leaving the game early in the second quarter after it buckled as he dropped back. [63] The following day, the Giants ruled Jones out for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee. [64] Jones finished his 2023 campaign with 909 passing yards, two touchdowns, six interceptions, and a 1–5 record. [65] 2024 See also: 2024 New York Giants season Returning from his injury the previous season, Jones was once again named the Giants' starting quarterback. [66] In his first start since November 5, 2023, Jones led the team to a Week 1 home loss to the Minnesota Vikings in which Jones completed 22-of-42 passes for one of the worst completion percentages of his career with 52.4%.
