"The New York Giants finally won an NFC East game for the first time since the 2023 season with a 34-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night at MetLife Stadium. Don't tell Dart that the Giants had lost eight straight in the division. He said beforehand that these contests hold a "little more weight." Still, this was his first start against an NFC East opponent, even if it was the defending Super Bowl champs. He hardly looked intimidated."
"Dart brought energy to a Giants offense that has long struggled in the division. He threw for 195 yards on 17-of-25 passing with a touchdown and rushed for another score. He made plays all over the field with his legs. Rookie Cam Skattebo added three touchdown runs. The Giants (2-4) looked like a different team with the two rookies leading the way. Stat to know: Dart did a ton of damage in this contest with his legs."
Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart led the New York Giants to a 34-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium, ending the team's NFC East drought dating to 2023. Dart threw for 195 yards on 17-of-25 passing with a touchdown and rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown, becoming the third quarterback in the Super Bowl era to rush for at least 50 yards in each of his first three career starts. Rookie running back Cam Skattebo added three rushing touchdowns. The Giants' defense surged after Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts overthrew a wide-open DeVonta Smith, triggering three straight punts.
