In a disappointing preseason opener, Daniel Jones of the New York Giants threw two interceptions in a 28-10 loss to the Houston Texans, completing 11 of 18 passes for 138 yards. Meanwhile, Mac Jones led the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 20-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, throwing for 210 yards and two touchdowns while showcasing a strong performance in his bid for the backup quarterback position. Jaguars coach Doug Pederson praised Mac's composure and accuracy, particularly highlighting his touchdown passes to Parker Washington and Brevin Easton. Other notable preseason results included the Indianapolis Colts defeating the Arizona Cardinals 21-13 and the Miami Dolphins edging out the Washington Commanders 13-6. The performances from these games are shaping the teams' rosters as they prepare for the regular season, with both Joneses looking to solidify their starting positions. As the preseason progresses, both quarterbacks will need to build on their performances to ensure success in the upcoming season.
