ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Jaxson Dart 's preseason debut may have gone as New York Giants coach Brian Daboll expected. It was still impressive and included what Daboll considered a "sweet throw" for a touchdown.
Dart went 12 of 19 passing for 154 yards with a touchdown in a 34-25 win over the Bufallo Bills on Saturday afternoon. He also rushed for 24 yards on three carries as he checked a variety of boxes in his first NFL game action. The highlight of it all was a 28-yard touchdown pass down the left sideline to Lil'Jordan Humphrey in the second quarter with pressure in his face.
None of it surprised his head coach.
"It's about what I thought he would do," Daboll said of the quarterback the Giants traded back into the first round to take with the 25th overall pick in this year's draft
