VIDEO: Giants' Rookie QB Daniel Jones Fumbles Snap and Bears' Jonathan Bullard Pounces All Over it
By Karl Rasmussen
Daniel Jones' first NFL turnover came early on in Week 2 of the preseason, and boy was it ever embarrassing. The Giants' rookie quarterback was a bit too hasty to start looking to pitch the ball to the running back and he ended up dropping the snap. Bears' DE Jonathan Bullard read the misfire like a hawk and was all over the ball within seconds.

Jones' first turnover wasn't even from an errant pass, he didn't make it that far into the play.
He must have been in his own head after connecting with Cody Latimer on a beautiful 40-yard completion. That big play is all for not now, as Jones handed the ball right over to the Bears.
He's a rookie, so these mistakes are expected. Hopefully he is able to block out the noise and maintain his focus for the next drive.
