Overview

• The Giants beat the Chargers 21-18 in Week 4 as Jaxson Dart won his first NFL start against a previously 3-0 opponent.
• Dart went 13-of-20 for 111 yards with a rushing touchdown and 54 rushing yards, briefly exited for a concussion check, cleared protocol, and returned after Russell Wilson took two snaps.
• Postgame, Dart credited Wilson for mentorship and professionalism, saying he had “a ton of respect” for the veteran he replaced.
• Wilson publicly backed Dart, posting congratulations on Instagram and telling reporters he is focused on helping the team and supporting the rookie.
• The switch followed an 0-3 opening stretch, with external commentary such as CBS Sports’ Kyle Long noting some players have questioned Wilson’s authenticity even as the current QB1–QB2 dynamic appears supportive.
