"The smiles inside the Quest Diagnostics Training Center seem to be a little bit wider this week. The jokes a bit more hearty. The energy, through the roof. This is the result of winning two of three games since rookie Jaxson Dart became the New York Giants starting quarterback. The first victory was over a quality Los Angeles Chargers team and the second came against the division rival and defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles last Thursday night."
"Winning cures all woes in the NFL. It's the ultimate deodorant. The Giants (2-4) had lost 18 of their past 22 games entering last Thursday night against the Eagles. They had dropped eight straight in the division. That left the fan base anticipating the next collapse, with very little on the horizon to keep them excited."
"Wins over the Chargers and Eagles have seemingly changed everything. They've provided hope for a franchise that was lost for the previous two and a half years. The fans have been reinvigorated by the results and the way that Dart and fellow rookie Cam Skattebo play -- neither are willing to concede a yard and both play with a youthful exuberance that captivated the national audience on Thursday night."
Rookie Jaxson Dart became the New York Giants' starting quarterback and led the team to two wins in three games, including victories over the Chargers and the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles. The Giants improved to 2-4 after entering the week having lost 18 of their previous 22 games and eight straight in the division. Players report noticeably higher energy and optimism at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center. Rookie Cam Skattebo's complementary play, refusal to concede yards, and youthful exuberance helped captivate the national audience and reinvigorate the fan base, providing renewed hope for the franchise.
