Giants Rookie Jaxson Dart’s Rapid Rise Sets Up Next Test in Denver

Opponents are zeroing in on his running lanes, making the Broncos’ top-tier defense a measure of how far his pocket game has come.

Overview

  • Film study of the win over the Eagles highlighted Dart’s command at the line and his effective use of hard counts to expose Vic Fangio’s disguises.
  • In Week 6, the rookie went 17-for-25 for 195 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added 58 rushing yards and a score to move to 2-1 as the starter.
  • Coach Brian Daboll and teammates praised Dart’s leadership and dual-threat play, even as the 2-4 Giants stress steady growth over hype.
  • Denver presents one of the league’s toughest defenses, with expectations of more blitzes, a QB spy, and efforts to keep Dart in the pocket after the Broncos produced nine sacks in London.
  • BetMGM now lists Dart as the Offensive Rookie of the Year favorite, and New York enters Denver as roughly a touchdown underdog.
