\n As the dust cleared Monday night, into Tuesday morning, the Giants were bestowed a rare gift by most of their blue-tinted constituency: perspective. Most Giants fans believed the Steelers were the better team. Most have bought in, however reluctantly, to the notion of an extended rebuild.<\/p>\n

Most figured Monday to be a lost cause going in.<\/p>\n

So when the final score was 26-16 coming out, there was little rage, little fury, little anger directed anywhere. They\u2019d looked respectable. They hadn\u2019t gotten throttled. They\u2019d made Ben Roethlisberger work for his dinner, and though there were a few agitating mistakes that could\u2019ve made a difference in the final score, it was a stand-up effort.<\/p>\n

(Also \u2014 and this cannot be discounted \u2014 they hadn\u2019t looked on Monday night as hapless and as hopeless as the Jets had looked on Sunday afternoon. That mattered.)<\/em><\/p>\n

OK, so take a bow on being reasonable and rational, Giants fans.<\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t mean you have a bottomless supply of good will and generous spirit, either. The key word Monday may have been \u201crespectable\u201d \u2014 the key word Sunday at Soldier Field will be something else: improvement. Fans need to see with their eyes what Giants brass tries to coax into their ears: the notion that things, overall, are trending in the right way.<\/p>\n

This can manifest itself many ways. As always, the offensive line is a concern. As always, the defense looked vulnerable last week, and the fact Roethlisberger was shaking off rush most of the first quarter and a half was certainly helpful. And, of course, Saquon Barkley was the subject of much of the postgame<\/a> angst that rounded out the week.<\/p>\n

But you know what would make Giants fans feel a lot better about things Sunday afternoon? If by 4:05 p.m. or so, they look up at their television screen, see Daniel Jones walk off the field, and see numbers app<\/a>roximating these on the screen alongside him: 20-for 30, 285 yards, two TDs, zero interceptions.<\/p>\n

It really won\u2019t matter what the other numbers say \u2014 Giants 20, Bears 17? Bears 35, Giants 14? Again, in a rebuilding season, you take the big-picture results as they come.<\/p>\n

The small picture matters more. Seeing Jones respond from a high-and-low Monday night with a solid, consistent and error-free effort, that will matter more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was certainly very clear to us as players when mistakes that we made were things we need to correct, and we did that. We did that together,\u201d Jones said earlier this week, referring to the coaching that the coaches did with the Giants as a whole, him in particular.<\/p>\n

Jones was very good in spots Monday. He didn\u2019t fumble, despite taking some vicious shots. He threw the ball well, never better than his 41-yard laser beam to Darius Slayton that gave the Giants a 10-3 lead in the second quarter. But he had those two picks: one thanks to a magnificent play by Pittsburgh\u2019s T.J. Watt, the other a dreadful decision not helped by a hyper-aggressive Steelers D.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought the communication was clear,\u201d Jones said. \u201cI thought guys were on the same page at practice and understood the urgency and the importance of each of those corrections. There were certainly good things from the game that we also discussed and obviously want to grow with and build on. But yeah, as far as corrections and fixing mistakes, the communication was clear. I know the guys understand the urgency to which it needs to be corrected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Much of what Jones has done has been ahead of schedule so far. There are no longer lingering doubts that he has the goods to be an NFL quarterback as there was this time last year. He has already shown enough that he can do the job. The next step is consistency, and removing the nagging belief that no matter how well he is playing there is always a misstep lurking somewhere in the near future.<\/p>\n
