"Jaxson Dart stood on the sideline as the clock ticked down. There would be no last-second field goal to tie this game. The Los Angeles Chargers pressed in their final drive. Justin Herbert found Quentin Johnston for a 22-yard gain, but they ran out of time. The New York Giants held on to win their first game of the season, 21-18, on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium. And in his first career NFL start, their new franchise quarterback delivered his first win."
"I was waiting for it to hit zero, Dart said. Because obviously that Dallas game, in my mind, I thought we were going to have that one. So I was just staring at the clock, waiting for it to count down. As the Giants left the field, head coach Brian Daboll embraced Dart. The rookie, for now, may have just saved his coach's job."
"We're trying to go 1-0, Daboll said. We close it out this game, miss the closing out a couple weeks ago. Daboll is in his fourth season behind the Giants' bench. In the wake of a 9-7 2022 campaign, in which New York posted a winning record and clinched a playoff berth for the first time in six years, the Giants have cratered. Big Blue slipped to 3-14 last season."
Jaxson Dart started his first NFL game and led the New York Giants to a 21-18 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers at MetLife Stadium. The Chargers mounted a final drive and Justin Herbert connected with Quentin Johnston for a 22-yard gain but time expired. Dart stood on the sideline as the clock ticked down and watched the final seconds. Head coach Brian Daboll embraced Dart after the win amid mounting pressure following a 3-14 season and the benching and release of former starter Daniel Jones. The Giants traded draft capital to select Dart 25th overall, signaling a new quarterback era.
