New York Giants 27, Green Bay Packers 22
Q. What did you learn about your team today?
DANIEL JONES: I think, didn't learn it today but I think we've got a tough group. A group that's going to compete for four quarters and 60 minutes. We got down the first half. Found a way to fight back at the end. I think we've known that and I think we've known we have a tough, competitive group and I thought we showed that today.
Q. How did the ankle compare to from where you started to where you finished?
DANIEL JONES: It felt good. It felt good throughout the game and it's been feeling good all week.
Q. What would you say about Mike's play calling, you guys running a little bit more, did that change things a little bit for you guys offensively?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, I thought he called a great game. I thought we were creative especially down in the red zone and found a way to make a couple plays. But you know, that's stuff that we have been practicing and we've been preparing for.
Yeah, I thought he called all that stuff at a great time.
Q. Bellinger play, did you think you were going to get the pass in the end or did you think he was going to run it in because of the way the defense was looking?
DANIEL JONES: I think he was ready for it but I thought he made a great decision to run it in.
Q. The way you guys won, does it validate that you are a good team?
DANIEL JONES: I don't know, I think we've always had confidence in our group. We believe in ourselves. You know, how the outside or how other people view us, you know, I don't think we are concerned with that but yeah, we have played a good game today and we'll continue to build confidence, continue to study what we've got to do to get better and continue to improve as a team.
Q. Do you think a performance like this and some of the ones you've had this season should answer some questions people have about what you're capable of?
DANIEL JONES: I don't know. I'm confident in myself. I'm confident in my ability to play and help this team win games. So how people respond to that or how people see that is up to them.
Q. You guys seem to deal with injury after injury and obstacle after obstacle and you continue to keep winning football games. Do you feel like this team is special? Do you feel like you're building something special?
DANIEL JONES: I think we are just taking it one week at a time. Like I said, we are confident. I think we are tough, we're competitive and we know those things. We are confident in those things. So you know, we are going to take it one week at a time and continue to improve as a group.
Q. How big is this win?
DANIEL JONES: I think it's a big win for us. That's a great team, Green Bay. We had to come back and fight for a lot there in the fourth quarter. It's definitely up there for us.
Q. I know you said you just focus on what's in the locker room and what outside people think, but when there is a lack of respect, can that be a rallying cry? Can you rally behind that?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, I mean, I think we were aware that we were under dogs in the game. I think we realized that. But you know, I think we are a motivated group. I think we are motivated to play for each other, to put our best stuff out there every time we go out there. So that's what's going to continue to motivate us and like I said we are going to continue to look what we can improve on.
Q. Was the crowd noise more lopsided early on than you expected and how did you handle it so well?
DANIEL JONES: It was. I think we expected it to be probably a little more neutral but it was loud early on. We went to a silent cadence, and I thought the guys adjusted to that well and we didn't really have any issue with the cadence.
Q. Was it cool to see the sound flip a little towards the end, the Giants fans making a little more noise?
DANIEL JONES: It was cool. We had good support from Giants fans. It was cool to see all the Red and blue in the stadium as well.
Q. What did you think of the whole weekend here?
DANIEL JONES: It's been cool. It's been a cool experience. You know, getting out and seeing a little bit of the town and being in England. First time I've been over here. It's been a cool experience it. Was a great atmosphere today. You know, awesome stadium and very cool experience.
Q. Those last two drives that you guys had in the fourth, touchdown drives, what are you telling the team at that point when you guys are down big and you just have to play your game, what do you do to get into that point where you can -- the eight-yard minute drive and score another one next drive?
DANIEL JONES: You know, I think it's just -- it doesn't take anything special or spectacular. It takes guys executing and doing their jobs every play, and I think that's what we did. I think that's how, you know, you have success on offense and you get a chance to make a big play, you make it. Like the one Saquon did.
But overall, I thought it was just guys executing their jobs each play.
Q. What was the feeling like there where Saquon goes out and you drive down and score, but then you guys get the ball back and see him come back on to the field. Did you feel more of a jump or a jolt or confidence there that you had momentum and now he's back?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, I think there's no doubt what he brings to our offense any time he's on the field is special, and unique. So to have him back at that point in the game was, you know, a little bit of a lift for us. Yeah, that was big-time.
Q. You were much better as a team converting third down in the second half rather than the first. Was that adjustments? Was this execution? A combination of the would?
DANIEL JONES: You I think it was more just execution. I thought -- made a couple adjustments here and there but for the most part we were just executing our game plan and kind of what we were planning to do going into the game and we had our opportunities to do that and we did it. I think it was just guys executing and being on the same page down the stretch.
Q. Was one of the adjustments that you decided you're just going to have to use your legs more to make plays? In the first half, you had the one scramble and you made a bunch of plays with your legs in the second half.
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, I think just felt some of those opportunities in the second half. I don't think I was -- I wasn't trying not do it in the first half. I think it was just, you know, several opportunities that came up, I tried to take advantage of them when they were there.
Q. Where you've had maybe about five days with the guys now away together, a lot of teams have come and say, feels like a training camp environment, extra time for bonding and you do stuff maybe you don't normally get to do at the facility back home. Have you felt that and have you done stuff off the field with the guys, played games or done stuff to push that bonding forward?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, I think it does kind of feel like that. You know, you're all staying in a hotel together for a few days and hanging out. So I didn't make it into London. A lot of guys went into London on Friday.
But you know, I think just being in a hotel together, being away together, practicing, meeting, eating meals, I think all that kind of stuff gives you an opportunity to spend a little more time with guys that you wouldn't, if you were back, you know, back home. So it was cool. It was a cool experience for us.
Q. Have you been able to do any activities with guys? Has anyone led any activities like cards or playing computer games or anything like that? Is there anything you can tell us?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, I don't -- not too many games. I think just kind of being together. You know, we went into Wear, some of us, the town where we were staying and had a meal. I think guys just getting out, exploring. Liked, some guys went to London but I think being away and being together does that for you.
Q. Is there anything unique to how Kafka calls a game offensively? You've played five games now. What is unique about the way he not only calls the game but the way he adjusts?
DANIEL JONES: I don't think if there's one thing that's unique. I think he's creative. I think he's got a good sense for, you know, when to take a shot, when to not, when to get creative with a play call, when to take advantage of an opportunity or something the defense is doing.
Yeah, I think he's got a good variety and he's keeping the defense on the heels with -- with what he's calling. But yeah, he's done great job.
Q. What's going through your head, somebody stepping on your hand or --
DANIEL JONES: Just a turf burn on my hand.
Q. And this confidence that you put in the second half, how would you describe the way you put your team on your shoulders and your belief in this team?
DANIEL JONES: Yeah, I think down the stretch, like I said, it was just guys executing. No one doing anything special or spectacular. It was just trusting each other to do our jobs and execute together as a group. I feel like that's what we did.
