"The 22-year-old Ole Miss product had never experienced this sort of ineptitude before, like many blue-chip passing prospects who are thrust into dysfunctional NFL franchises. But Sunday was a new low against a Vikings defense that befuddled Dart all day. He completed just 7 of 13 passes for 33 yards with an interception. Six of those completions came in the second half, as Big Blue's franchise man under center connected on just one single pass for two yards in the opening two quarters."
"The valleys far outnumber the peaks in Dart's rookie season. The Giants have now lost nine straight games and have their clutches on the No. 1 overall pick at the 2026 NFL Draft thanks to their current 2-13 record. For all the saving that Dart is projected to do and he showed flashes of that under previous head coach Brian Daboll it appears he has regressed in recent weeks under interim head coach Mike Kafka."
Jaxson Dart, 22, completed 7 of 13 passes for 33 yards with an interception in a 16-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium. Six completions occurred in the second half; only one completion for two yards was recorded before 1:44 remained in the first half. The Giants have lost nine straight games and stand 2-13, likely securing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Performance has declined since returning from a Week 10 concussion; in three games since return Dart completed 60.2% of passes for 418 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Regression under interim coach Mike Kafka contrasts earlier flashes under Brian Daboll.
