"More than a few New York Giants fans at the Meadowlands chanted, We want Dart! after Russell Wilson threw an interception during a third consecutive loss to start the season on Sunday night. Now they are getting him. The Giants are turning to rookie Jaxson Dart to start at quarterback in their next game Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to two people familiar with the decision."
"Dart replaces Wilson with the Giants off to an 0-3 start and the unbeaten Chargers coming to town. Wilson is expected to dress as the backup with journeyman Jameis Winston remaining third on the depth chart. Coach Brian Daboll was noncommittal on Monday about who his QB would be after Wilson threw two interceptions in a 22-9 defeat to Kansas City on Sunday night."
"Dart is set to make his first NFL start after getting a handful of snaps the past two weeks. He has yet to attempt a pass, while Wilson has gone 65 of 110 for 778 yards, three touchdowns and three picks this season. The Giants traded back into the first round to select Dart with the 25th pick and see the Mississippi product as their quarterback of the future."
