In a statement-making performance Thursday night, rookie Jaxson Dart led the New York Giants to a 34–17 victory over the defending-champion Philadelphia Eagles, snapping a long losing streak in the NFC East and handing New York its first win over a previous Super Bowl champion since 1998. Dart threw for 195 yards and rushed for 58 more, becoming just the third quarterback in the Super Bowl era to rush for at least 50 yards in each of his first three starts. Meanwhile, rookie Cam Skattebo delivered three rushing touchdowns in a breakout effort.
The win serves more than just a notch in the W column—it’s a chance to shift the narrative around a franchise coming off a dismal 3–14 season. Players and coaches alike spoke of fighting prior negativity and forging a fresh identity. Coach Brian Daboll praised Dart’s leadership and said the team’s energy and confidence are changing the feel of this squad.
