Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart capped off a memorable NFL debut on Saturday by sharing a sweet moment with his biggest supporter.

Moments after the Giants put a bow on their first preseason game, a 34-25 win over the Bills in Orchard Park, Dart — who went 12 of 19 for 159 yards and a touchdown — embraced mom Kara in the stands at Highmark Stadium, as captured in a video shared on X by Buffalo reporter Jenna Cottrell of ABC affiliate WHAM.

Dart, the 25th overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, smiled beside teammate and fellow quarterback Tommy DeVito, who also got playing time in the preseason opener.
