Daniel Jones is set to make his first start in the NFL playoffs when his Giants travel to Minneapolis to take on the Vikings in this weekend’s wild-card round. Before taking on the most important game of his professional career, the fifth-year quarterback decided to seek advice from one of the franchise greats: Eli Manning.
Speaking to reporters Friday, Jones said he called Manning late in the week as a part of his preparation for Sunday’s tilt against the Vikings.
“It was keep your process the same, keep your approach the same,” Jones said of what Manning told him. “Largely, it’s the same game. Your intensity is up a little bit, but nothing changes as far as your decision-making and how you approach the game. It’s the same game. Trust what has gotten you there.”
