Daniel Jones gave fans a big laugh when he tripped to spoil what would have been a long touchdown run during the third quarter of his New York Giants’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday night.
Jones faked a handoff to Wayne Gallman, kept the ball, and hit a huge hole on the right side. He had an open path to the end zone and broke towards it. Jones had a sure touchdown ahead of him, but he started running out of gas and stumbled and fell around the 15.

It went down as an 80-yard run for Jones. Luckily his Giants were able to compete the drive with a touchdown.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was watching the game and had a great reaction to the run.
I mean i can’t even say anything cause i would never be able to run that far either

Deion Sanders couldn’t believe it either.

Jones’ teammates seem to get a kick out of the quarterback’s mistake too.

Jones may never live down this moment. And it comes right after we talked him up about his speed.
