"EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart was hunched over in front of his locker after Sunday's 21-18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He had nothing left in him after a game where he rushed and threw for a touchdown in his first career start, which also doubled as the Giants' first victory of the season."
""It wasn't perfect, didn't expect it to be in this first game. But a tough opponent, 3-0 team with a pretty good defense," Daboll said. "Thought he made good decisions, that we ran the ball well, thought we controlled the game for the most part. Had some turnovers on defense, but I think the young man played well, within himself. Made a huge play when he needed to, to [tight end] Theo [Johnson], in that third-down play. Happy we got him.""
Jaxson Dart started for the New York Giants and led a 21-18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in his first career start. He completed 13 of 20 passes for 111 yards with a passing touchdown and rushed 10 times for 54 yards and a rushing touchdown. Dart took numerous big hits, suffered a minor hamstring injury, and was checked for a possible concussion. Head coach Brian Daboll praised Dart's decision-making, ball control and a key third-down connection with tight end Theo Johnson. Dart became the second player since 2000 to record both a passing and rushing touchdown and at least 50 rushing yards in his first start, joining Tim Tebow. His family attended the game.
