Giants Blow Late Lead to Bears, Fall to 2-8 as Rookie QB Jaxson Dart Sustains Concussion

The loss intensified scrutiny of Brian Daboll’s job security after a viral post falsely claimed he was fired.

Overview

  • Jaxson Dart was diagnosed with a concussion after a third‑quarter hit; Brian Daboll said he noticed the quarterback did not look right and trainers removed him, with Russell Wilson finishing the game.
  • Postgame speculation about Brian Daboll’s future escalated, yet reports of his firing originated from a fake social media post and were debunked as untrue.
  • Criticism focused on Daboll’s late-game choices, including settling for a short field goal on fourth‑and‑goal inside the 1, as Chicago rallied for two late touchdowns.
  • The defeat extended a season‑long pattern of collapses, with the Giants now 0‑4 in road games in which they led by at least 10 points.
  • Player safety questions resurfaced given Dart’s multiple evaluations this year and earlier NFL fines for a Giants concussion‑protocol breach, even as players such as Dexter Lawrence publicly backed Daboll.
