Overview

  • Dart went 13-of-20 for 111 yards and a touchdown, added 54 rushing yards and a score, and committed no turnovers in the Week 4 win at MetLife Stadium.
  • TruMedia data showed seven designed QB runs and a faster passing rhythm, with 65% of throws released within 2.5 seconds and a 6.3-yard average depth of target.
  • Protection remains a concern as Dart absorbed five sacks on 28 dropbacks and 15 total hits, with Forbes noting he was checked in the concussion protocol and dealt with a hamstring tweak.
  • Top receiver Malik Nabers sustained a knee injury reported as a torn ACL and is expected to miss the season, putting more on targets like Theo Johnson and Wan'Dale Robinson.
  • Fanatics reported Dart’s No. 6 jersey was the NFL’s best-seller on Sunday, outpacing stars such as Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen after the Giants’ first win of the year.
