NEW YORK GIANTS MEDIA CONFERENCE

November 2, 2025

Mac Jones

49ers 34, Giants 24

Q. How did it feel out there?

MAC JONES: Felt good. I definitely feel like we started better as an offense. That's been the complaint for the past couple weeks, so definitely want to do that as best we can and then continue those drives, too, and we really left some out there. Just got to get better.

Q. How important was the catch Jordan made there early to kind of get you guys going?

MAC JONES: It was great. Yeah, it was a hurry-up play, and as a rookie, you just have to get that communicated to you. I don't know, it's hard, it's tough stuff, and they were scrambling on defense and then he just made a competitive catch. We've worked on that, have had some reps with him in OTAs and stuff when we've had some of those contested catches, but really great job, strong hands, and he came up with it.

Q. Virtually every week we hear that maybe Brock will play, maybe he won't. It's very up in the air. How does that affect your preparation?

MAC JONES: It doesn't really affect my preparation to be honest. I've been fortunate to play both roles as a starter and backup in this league, so I understand what I need to do to get ready to play and really it's about my health and my body and just trying to get back to 100 percent for myself.

I know Brock is working hard and he's done a great job every week helping me get ready, and that's all you can ask from your quarterback.

Q. Bryan Robinson, Jr., had a good game; what does he add to the offense?

MAC JONES: He's the man. I know he's been kind of itching to get a chance, and we've talked about it. Nothing bad, but just like, I'm like, stay ready, dude, it's coming. Christian has just done a great job, and I said, your game is coming. I said that last week and this week. He's done a great job just taking it day by day, attacking the line of scrimmage, just knowing what to do. He's more comfortable and looks how he did in college to be honest.

Q. Did you know at halftime that you were 14 of 14?

MAC JONES: No. Am I supposed to?

Q. Did you feel like, okay, I haven't had an incompletion yet?

MAC JONES: No, I never really think about it like that, to be honest. Just because it's more about are my eyes in the right spot. But that is cool. Honestly, right before half we had a touchdown and I just took too long and didn't step up on that fumble or whatever it was. We really were going to score there, so I was pissed about that.

But just trying to keep moving the offense down the field however we can do it, and what a great job by the offensive line with the running game and limited sacks.

Q. You had a passer rating of like 135. Is this the most confident you've felt since you've been in the league?

MAC JONES: I'm pretty confident in myself. I think I've had my -- I'm not going to say issues, but I've had my ups and downs with that. I really just put it down to just believing in myself and believing in Kyle and the system here and the guys just let me be myself, which is kind of different than what I've had in the past.

I appreciate that, and it takes -- I say all 33, all 11 on offense, defense and special teams. Really just thought we had a good team win. As always, we'll watch the tape and get better. But definitely feel comfortable and I'm not going to lose confidence in myself.

Q. (On Adrian getting in the game.)

MAC JONES: Yeah, Kyle already took his headset off, and I'm like, go on, Adrian, so I just subbed myself out, snuck to the sideline. But I was happy. I think Adrian was going to go in either way, and they wanted him to get in there. But when they scored, you've just got to get the 1st down with the offense. Once we were taking a knee, I definitely wanted Adrian to be there. He's just been awesome, to be honest. He's a good friend of mine. I've just gotten to know him. He's been a great voice in that room along with Brock and Rourke as well, so we've got a great room.

Q. What's the feeling in the team a little past the halfway point at 6-3?

MAC JONES: Yeah, this was a big one for us, and we talked about it yesterday after practice, just talking to the team like this is a big one, having played five years in the NFL now. You really have to look at this game as like a playoff game almost. I feel like we answered the bell there. Like I said, all 1 of 33, that's what we talk about, and everyone has got to be on the same page. We definitely answered the bell, but the challenge is don't be complacent and we've got to do it again next week. That's the goal.

Q. We saw Mykel Williams go down with about four minutes to go. Is it one of those things like every freaking game --

MAC JONES: Yeah, I don't know what the severity of it was, but I was definitely pissed. I was just sitting there getting ready to go back in and I didn't know who it was and I was like, oh, Mykel, I hope he's okay. Just prayed for him, and I know he's up walking around and stuff, so hopefully he's doing better, but I'm not sure. You'd have to ask him.

Q. Anything about this turf that's concerning?

MAC JONES: I've played on it a few times and I just adjust my cleats if I feel like it's an issue. Like I said, it's a football field, and we'll play wherever we have to play, in a parking lot or on the field.

Q. Do you feel like you've been able to be yourself more here than you've been allowed to in other organizations?

MAC JONES: Yeah, for sure. I really do feel that. It's not a knock on anybody, I just feel like this is a great organization that it's a lot of laid-back people and it's more my personality and just lets me be me and all the guys every day, they're the same guys every day, whether we're down in a game like last week or up in a game like this week. There's the same mentality, and I really appreciate everybody from coaches to everybody, but like I said, you've got to keep going. It's one good week and trying to do it again next week.
