From the article

Daniel Jones had his worst quarter and a half against the Commanders. There was pressure, but his attempts were the shortest in the league at 3.8 per play. Going 19/34 for only 143 yards and multiple turnovers proves Jones is struggling.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Jones's worst game (19/34, 143 yards, turnovers) tied to Pierce's absence and shortest avg depth.

Jones posted his worst quarter-and-a-half performance against the Commanders, going 19/34 for only 143 yards with multiple turnovers. His average attempt depth was the shortest in the league at 3.8 yards per play. While pressure contributed to the struggles, the source attributes much of Jones's decline to Pierce's absence; Jones averaged over 8 yards per attempt last year with Pierce on the field, indicating Pierce's presence opens the offense and allows Jones to take deeper shots downfield.
