Giants Fall to 0-3 as Fans Call for Jaxson Dart and Russell Wilson Struggles vs. Chiefs

Coaches are keeping Jaxson Dart in specialty packages to focus on development.

Overview

  • New York lost 22-9 to Kansas City at MetLife Stadium, with Russell Wilson going 18-of-32 for 160 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns.
  • Chants of "We want Dart" followed Wilson’s second pick, and Brian Daboll briefly inserted the rookie for designed runs, including a 3-yard carry, before returning to the veteran.
  • Through three games the first-rounder remains the backup and has been used in read-option looks, with no regular-season pass attempts to date.
  • Team messaging and usage indicate a deliberate timeline for Dart, with coaches opting for controlled, situational snaps rather than a full handover.
  • The setback came one week after Wilson’s 450-yard, three-touchdown performance in Dallas, highlighting the volatility that is intensifying scrutiny of the quarterback plan.
