The New York Giants fans had been calling for the rookie quarterback to take over, and on Sunday, he delivered.
Jaxson Dart was victorious in his first NFL start, leading the Giants to a 21-18 victory over the previously unbeaten Los Angeles Chargers in front of a revved-up MetLife Stadium crowd.
Dart threw for one touchdown and ran for another as he went 13 of 20 for 111 yards, good for a 96.0 QB rating. The rookie also rushed for 54 yards as he dealt with a hamstring issue during part of the game.
Yes, it's just one start, but Dart is sparking conversation around the league as to the promise he brings to an organization in desperate need of a franchise quarterback. JAXSON DART: How he commands trust and respect from Giants as their rookie QB Looking for a free mini puzzle? Play
