New York Giants Head Coach, Brian Daboll is shown during the fourth quarter, Sunday, September 21, 2025.

Overview

  • The 22-year-old will make his first NFL start Sunday at MetLife Stadium against 3-0 Los Angeles, with New York entering the game 0-3.
  • Daboll said the move was his decision alone, with reporting that he bypassed staff consultation, and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will call plays.
  • Russell Wilson has been benched yet remains with the team and, by his account and coaches’ comments, has not requested a trade or release.
  • Analysts and betting outlooks favor the Chargers, and CBS Sports notes a win would be rare for a debuting QB against a 3-0 opponent.
  • League evaluators say Dart will be graded on poise, decisions and sustaining drives after a preseason with three touchdown passes and no interceptions.
