The New York Giants have finally made what seemed to be an obvious decision after Week 1: They're shutting down Russell Wilson and rolling with Jaxson Dart.

Wilson struggled mightily in Weeks 1 and 3, and putting up 450 yards and 37 points against the 2025 Dallas Cowboys wasn't that impressive. If anything, he also cost them that game with a head-scratching interception.
