"Jaxson Dart is officially QB1 for the New York Giants, and head coach Brian Daboll is hopeful this shot will hit its mark. Big Blue informed its quarterback room of the switch, making the 22-year-old rookie quarterback the starter for Week 4 against the undefeated Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, according to multiple reports. Russell Wilson, the 36-year-old former Super Bowl winner, will serve as the backup."
"The switch comes after Wilson struggled to generate much in the Giants' 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. He completed 18 of 32 passes for 160 yards and two interceptions, which was a significant letdown from the promise he showed in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, when he passed for 450 yards and three scores."
Jaxson Dart will start at quarterback for the New York Giants in Week 4 versus the undefeated Los Angeles Chargers, with Russell Wilson relegated to backup. The change follows an 0-3 start and Wilson's uneven early-season play, including 18 of 32 for 160 yards and two interceptions in a 22-9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and a scoreless outing in the opener. Head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen made the move amid pressure after last season's 3-14 finish. Dart impressed in preseason (32 of 47 for 372 yards and four touchdowns) and had been used in short-yardage packages but has yet to throw a regular-season pass.
