The Giants lost their third straight game Monday night but Daniel Jones did not lose the starting quarterback job.

New York head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Tuesday that Jones remains the starter heading into Week 9.

“He did some good things throughout the game, made some good decisions, made some good checks,” Daboll said of Jones’ performance in the 26-18 loss at Pittsburgh.

Jones completed 24 of 38 passes for 264 yards with no touchdowns and turned the ball over twice in Steelers territory in the final three minutes. He fumbled on a strip-sack by T.J. Watt with 2:59 remaining and his tipped pass was intercepted by Beanie Bishop with 34 seconds left.

“I thought he pushed the ball down the field and gave our guys some opportunities to make, which that was a great throw to Slay (Darius Slayton), a couple good throws to Malik (Nabers) and he’s been working hard on that, and I think that showed,” Daboll said. “And he did a good job of operating the plays and the checks and things that we had in that environment.

“So, I thought he did some good things and then ultimately … at the end there, it’s all of us. We just didn’t get it done.”

Asked to clarify that Jones remains the QB1 moving forward, Daboll answered: “He is.”

Jones’ status appeared to be on shaky ground heading into Monday’s game after he was benched in New York’s 28-3 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7, replaced in the fourth quarter by Drew Lock.

Jones has completed 62.6 percent of his passes for 1,706 yards with six touchdowns and five interceptions through six starts this season, his sixth with the Giants. He has been sacked 25 times.

The Giants (2-6) play host to the NFC East-leading Washington Commanders (6-2) on Sunday afternoon.
