Entering the Giants game, a stoic strategy of disciplined containment appeared to be the tactic that was adopted by Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. Enacting a similar plan to the one that effectively minimized the mobile skill sets of quarterbacks like Jalen Hurts and Justin Fields seemed like a decent bet vs. the Giants' rookie.

After a week of talking trash, Broncos linebacker Nik Bonitto gave New York Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart his flowers: "A lot better" than we thought.

Jaxson Dart enjoyed the hostile road environments in the SEC, so the New York Giants' rookie is ready to embrace the villain role when he visits Philadelphia for the first time as an NFL quarterback on Sunday.

Dart is currently performing better than any other rookie quarterback selected in the 2025 NFL draft, leading the Giants to a 2–2 record while throwing for 791 yards, seven touchdowns and three picks and rushing for 178 yards and three touchdowns.

I feel like things are just kind of taken out of proportion," Jonathon Cooper said after his Jaxson Dart comments went viral.

The Eagles’ defensive coordinator Vic Fangio didn’t mince words this week about the Giants’ rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Fangio, who has already faced Dart once this season, praised the rookie’s upside and the way New York has built around him.

The Giants went on the road to face arguably the best defense in the NFL without top wide receivers Malik Nabers (ACL) and Darius Slayton (hamstring), as well as center John Michael Schmitz (concussion). And this is an offense that was already lacking playmakers.
