Giants Move On from Wilson, Give Dart the Reins
In a sweeping decision following a NFL Week 3 disappointing start, the New York Giants are benching Russell Wilson and handing the quarterback job to rookie Jaxson Dart going forward.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll cited Dart's potential and the need to build for the future, believing Dart gives the team their best chance to grow out of their early-season skid.
The change is being viewed as both a gamble and a necessary pivot—New York's offense must spark under fresh leadership if they're to reverse momentum. Dart will now get his first opportunity this Sunday at home vs the Chargers.
