NEW ORLEANS — The Giants went down to the Bayou and stunk out the joint. Here are a few takeaways from their 26-14 loss to the Saints:
1. As he did last week, Jaxson Dart marched down the field on the opening series and got the Giants in the end zone. This time around, he also did it on the second series, both times cashing in with scoring throws to tight end Theo Johnson. What looked easy in the Big Easy quickly unraveled for Dart. He ran smack into his first rookie quarterback dose of heavy-duty adversity, and it turned out to be an ugly afternoon for the youngster. He was not exactly picked up by his veteran teammates and the lack of anything remotely explosive down the field — Dart’s longest completion was just 18 yards — makes it all the more sobering that Malik Nabers isn’t coming
