Another hard hit to Jaxson Dart underscores tough return for Giants rookie quarterback
The return of Jaxson Dart to the New York Giants lineup didn’t provide much of a spark in their 33-15 loss to the New Englad Patriots. But the rookie quarterback came close to learning a valuable lesson the hard way. In his first game back since missing two games with a concussion, Dart scrambled out of the pocket to make a play. As he neared the Giants sideline, Patriots linebacker Christian Elliss delivered a hard but legal hit, briefly sending Dart airborne. He stayed in the game, but couldn’t do much to boost the offense in New York’s third game under interim coach Mike Kafka.
