It was impressive watching the rookie duo of Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo put the Chargers’ stout defense on its heels multiple times on Sunday. Sure, the Giants came up short a few times in the red zone, but they certainly held their own in the stunning 21–18 victory.
I’m not sure how much credit Giants coach Brian Daboll deserves for starting Dart over Russell Wilson because he was running out of options to save his job, but at least he didn’t wait a week to make the switch vs. the winless Saints. Daboll opted to have his rookie signal-caller make his starting debut against a Chargers defense that had frustrated Patrick Mahomes, Geno Smith and Bo Nix, and was only allowing less than 18 points per game heading into Sunday.
