VIDEO: Giants Storm Back vs Patriots Thanks to Daniel Jones Dime to Golden Tate and Defensive TD
By Scott Rogust
Now we've got ourselves a game! With the New York Giants facing a 14-0 deficit to the New England Patriots in the second quarter, rookie quarterback Daniel Jones decided to call out his alter-ego "Danny Dimes." On first-and-ten, Jones threw and absolute dime to wide receiver Golden Tate, who caught the ball with his finger tips and took it 64-yards to the house for the touchdown. Fun fact, this is the first passing touchdown surrendered by the Patriots defense this season.

The Giants weren't done there. On the very next drive, Giants linebacker Lorenzo Carter sacked Tom Brady, who lost control of the ball. Linebacker Markus Golden recovered and took it 42 yards to the house to tie the game at 14 points apiece.
Here's the Giants defensive touchdown play.

Hopefully Josh Gordon is alright. He went to the medical tent after the play.pic.twitter.com/ecMxRuCzE5
The New York Giants always pull off miraculous performances against the New England Patriots, so plays like these shouldn't come as a surprise.
