It was a nice Sunday for Joe Judge and the New York Giants — except for Daniel Jones' hamstring injury.

New York moved into a tie for first in the NFC East with a 19-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, but the Giants lost their starting quarterback when Jones got hurt in the second half.

Jones passed for 213 yards in New York's third straight win. He’s scheduled to have an MRI on Monday.

“I won’t say I’m optimistic at this point right now,” said Judge, who is in his first year as Giants coach. “No, I don’t want to go ahead and say yea or nay because I don’t have the medical information. You know, I’m sure he’s going to try everything he can.”

Jones went down after completing a short pass in the third quarter with the game tied at 10. He returned for two plays on the next series, then was relieved by Colt McCoy, who played the rest of the game.

“I’m certainly not discouraged,” Jones said. “You know, I think it’s tough to tell exactly what it is right now.”

The Carolina Panthers lost wide receiver D.J. Moore in the fourth quarter of their 28-27 loss at Minnesota. Moore, who finished with four receptions for 61 yards, hurt his right ankle after landing awkwardly in the end zone on an incompletion by Teddy Bridgewater.

Vikings running back Dalvin Cook hurt his right ankle when he fumbled in the second half, but he returned, finishing with 18 carries for 61 yards and four catches for 21 yards.
