Overview
- Dart called his Vikings outing a one-off and said he will bounce back after going 7-for-13 for 33 yards with five sacks in the 16-13 loss.
- Interim coach Mike Kafka defended Dart’s response to adversity and said the staff wants players’ natural ability to show rather than putting them in a box.
- New York and Las Vegas are both 2-13 entering Sunday, extending a Giants nine-game skid and setting up potential movement near the top of the draft order.
- Dart said he feels heard by the staff and takes accountability for corrections, while both he and Kafka downplayed attention on a WFAN post he liked that criticized Dart’s usage.
- Context for Dart’s late-season dip includes a concussion that cost him two games, schematic changes after Brian Daboll’s firing, mentorship from Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, and a season line of 172-of-277 for 13 TDs and five INTs with seven rushing scores.
