New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold defeats New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones in an American Cornhole League challenge.
This past week, Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones challenged each other to something that actually doesn’t involve football. The two New York quarterbacks were to face each other in an American Cornhole League challenge on Friday night. The taped event will air on ESPN2 prior to the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Darnold and the New York Jets previously defeated Jones and the New York Giants 34-27 back in November. And on Friday night, the Southern California product ousted the Duke product once again.

Jones and Big Blue, on the other hand, ended up 4-12 and in third place in the NFC East. In his first season in the pros, Jones totaled 3,027 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and 12 picks. Four of those touchdowns and 308 of those yards came in the Week 10 loss to the Jets.
