"Even though he probably could have stepped out of bounds earlier and gained a few less yards, he said he wouldn't change a thing. "No, look, I understand the question, but this is football," Dart said. "I'm going to get hit if I'm in the pocket or outside the pocket. I feel like I played this way my whole entire life. It shouldn't be any shocker to anybody if you followed along with my career. "We're not playing soccer out here. You're going to get hit. Things happen. It's just part of the game.""
"Dart said he was scrambling out of the pocket on the second-and-13 play early in the contest. He was trying to get the first down before Christian Elliss sent him flying through the air. Dart landed on the Giants sideline. The hit was deemed legal. Dart was still inbounds at the time of the hit. "Guy made a good hit," he said. Interim coach Mike Kafka didn't have any problem with the play from his quarterback. Even if it led to a big hit."
Jaxson Dart absorbed a bone-crushing hit near the sideline early in a 33-15 loss to the New England Patriots in Foxborough. Dart missed the previous two games with a concussion and had been checked for concussion multiple times this season, yet he defended his aggressive style and said he wouldn't change his approach. The hit was ruled legal because he remained inbounds, and Dart characterized it as part of the game. Interim coach Mike Kafka noted Dart was working toward the sideline. Tight end Theo Johnson drew a 15-yard unnecessary-roughness penalty defending Dart, and right guard Greg Van Roten said teammates will not tolerate late or dirty hits on their quarterback.
