Giants Fans Call for Jaxson Dart as Russell Wilson Struggles, Rookie Gets One Snap vs. Chiefs

The team says the rookie’s timeline reflects deliberate development given processing work plus early offensive line absences.

Overview

  • Russell Wilson threw two first-half interceptions against Kansas City as New York trailed 9-6 at halftime and the Chiefs stretched the lead early in the third quarter.
  • With chants for Jaxson Dart at MetLife Stadium, Brian Daboll inserted the rookie for one third-quarter snap that went for a three-yard keeper.
  • Dart still has not attempted an NFL pass and previously logged one rush for minus-3 yards in his Week 2 debut against Dallas.
  • The Giants have kept Wilson as QB1 through two weeks with Dart as the backup and Jameis Winston inactive as the emergency third quarterback.
  • Coaching evaluations cite Dart’s decisiveness and timing development, along with left tackle Andrew Thomas’ early-season absence, as factors in delaying a promotion, even as Wilson led the league in passing yards through two games.
