Jaxson Dart shows off control, ability to bounce back in Giants' streak-ending win

Story byBen KrimmelMon, December 29, 2025 at 2:25 AM UTC·5 min readGiants quarterback Jaxson Dart has never been short on confidence, even as his rookie season has been marred by a concussion that cost him two games, the firing of the head coach who drafted him, and suffering through a streak of nine games without a win. Coming off a down game a week ago, the Week 17 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, another lowly side stuck in a nine-game losing skid, with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft dangling as a carrot to the loser, Dart was determined not to let an opportunity to earn a third career win slip away.

Key Highlights

  • I liked the game plan.
  • I feel like we got into a flow early and kind of just controlled the game from there on out.
  • We were just super balanced, and it definitely felt good."Interim head coach Mike Kafka said he was “really proud” of how the rookie quarterback “stepped up for the offense” and “how he responded” after last week’s poor showing against Minnesota.“Did a really good job of controlling the game, managing the game, taking easy completions to start, and when he had opportunities downfield, his guys worked for him, and he got them the football,” the interim HC said.
  • “He did a great job with his feet, whether it was designed runs or whether it was a scramble, either getting us back to the line of scrimmage or making plays with his legs and getting us first downs.“I think for him to bounce back, it was something that we all saw in practice, and how he approached it.
  • And then for him to come out here and do this in the game, I’m not surprised.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementDart completed 22 of 30 passes for 207 yards (6.9 yards per attempt) and posted an 80.7 QBR and 91.9 passer rating.
