Giants Blow Late Lead After Jaxson Dart Concussion, Fall to 2-8 at Chicago

The rookie’s fourth in-season concussion evaluation renewed questions about the Giants’ player-safety approach.

Overview

  • Jaxson Dart suffered a concussion in Week 10 at Soldier Field and was ruled out after evaluation, ending his night early.
  • The rookie was hit on a third-quarter run that caused a fumble, stayed in for two more plays, then gave way to Russell Wilson in the fourth quarter.
  • Brian Daboll said he noticed Dart "didn’t look right" when he returned to the field and sent trainers to assess him.
  • New York lost 24-20 after leading 20-10 with 10:19 left, marking its fourth blown lead of the season and leaving the team winless on the road.
  • Dart had 242 passing yards, 66 rushing yards and two touchdowns, becoming the first NFL quarterback with a rushing score in five straight games, as scrutiny of Daboll and the front office intensified with no reported staff changes.
