Broncos Mock Jaxson Dart’s Chain as Giants Rookie Downplays Jabs Before Denver

Barbs over the quarterback’s necklace and celebrations frame Sunday’s test in Denver, where his fast starts meet a defense that hasn’t allowed an opening-drive touchdown this season.

Overview

  • Broncos pass rusher Jonathon Cooper shrugged off Dart as “feelin’ himself,” citing the rookie’s chain and dancing ahead of the Week 7 matchup.
  • Nik Bonitto called Giants fans “delusional” in a post on X that he later deleted, drawing replies from Giants rookie Abdul Carter and support from veteran Darius Slayton.
  • Dart responded by saying many players wear chains and dance after touchdowns and added that he appreciates Cooper following his celebrations, while praising Denver’s well-coached defense.
  • Not all Broncos dismissed the quarterback, as cornerback Pat Surtain II publicly lauded Dart’s poise and confidence and projected long-term success.
  • Dart has led first-drive touchdowns in each of his first three starts, a feat matched only by Patrick Mahomes since 1978, while Denver has yet to concede a first-drive TD this year.
