Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart is embracing the "hostility" of playing the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles’ defensive coordinator Vic Fangio didn’t mince words this week about the Giants’ rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Fangio, who has already faced Dart once this season, praised the rookie’s upside and the way New York has built around him.

The Giants went on the road to face arguably the best defense in the NFL without top wide receivers Malik Nabers (ACL) and Darius Slayton (hamstring), as well as center John Michael Schmitz (concussion). And this is an offense that was already lacking playmakers.

Dart is currently performing better than any other rookie quarterback selected in the 2025 NFL draft, leading the Giants to a 2–2 record while throwing for 791 yards, seven touchdowns and three picks and rushing for 178 yards and three touchdowns.

Jaxson Dart and the New York Giants blew a 19-0 lead in the fourth quarter to Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos on the road with a game-winning field goal, losing 33-32.

Alex Smith is worried about Jaxson Dart getting “killed” if the Giants continue to let him run around like a kid on the playground. The former NFL quarterback called out Giants coach Brian Daboll for not protecting the rookie QB in Dart’s first three starts entering Sunday’s game in Denver.
