Overview
- New York improved to 2-4 with a 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday night, and rookie Jaxson Dart is 2-1 as the starter after converting 11 of 15 third downs against Philadelphia.
- Power rankings bumped the Giants into the low-to-mid 20s, with multiple outlets highlighting Dart joining Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts by rushing for at least 50 yards in each of his first three starts.
- Edge rusher Brian Burns has seven sacks through six games, ranking third in the NFL and delivering key third-down sacks in both Giants victories.
- A joint NFL/NFLPA review is examining Brian Daboll’s entry into the blue medical tent and confrontation with team physician Scott Rodeo; Jay Glazer reports the club is bracing for a fine rather than draft-pick penalties.
- Concerns persist over Dart’s physical running and two concussion evaluations in three games, while a new Prime Video Saquon Barkley documentary renewed criticism of the franchise’s front office.
