Jaxson Dart needed just 3 games to do what Daniel Jones did in 6 years

Jaxson Dart Matches Daniel Jones in Primetime in Just 3 Games—Giants Fans Are Excited!

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – In a surprising upset, the New York Giants crushed the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles 34-17 on Thursday Night Football (Oct. 9, 2025) at MetLife Stadium. Rookie QB Jaxson Dart was brilliant, tying Daniel Jones’ only Primetime win in just three starts, sending Big Blue Nation into a frenzy.

Dart, a 22-year-old draft pick with the 25th overall pick, was brilliant in Primetime, completing 17-of-25 passes for 195 yards, a touchdown, and a 20-yard run. “Dart did what Jones took six years to do in three games!” Fan Mike Russo tweeted, sharing the joy of the Giants winning their first NFC East since 2023. Jones’ incredible 1-14 record is now a distant memory.

The Giants’ rejuvenation, led by Dart and rookie RB Cam Skattebo (98 yards, 3 TDs), is making football exciting again. “Skattebo and Dart are our future!” fan Sarah Klein posted on X, where #GiantsPride has racked up 2 million views. Even as Jalen Hurts combined with DeVonta Smith to take a momentary lead, Dart’s composure kept fans glued to the game.

Head coach Brian Daboll’s bold move to start Dart after an 0-3 losing streak paid off big. “Jaxson is a breath of fresh air,” fan Joey Martelli tweeted. Dart’s key plays—like his TD pass over Zack Baun—proved he was a primetime star, far beyond the embarrassing Jones era.

Unlike the Week 5 loss to the Saints that had fans worried about disaster, this win turned things around. “Big Blue not only won, they dominated the champs!” fan Emily Chen cheered. The Giants (2-4) had broken the primetime curse, giving hope of a playoff berth.

With Dart equaling Jones’ primetime win in record time, Giants fans are dreaming big. “Jaxson made us believe again,” tweeted @BigBlueFanatic. As Big Blue takes aim at the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football (Dec. 1), Dart and Skattebo made a big difference. NFC East, watch out—Big Blue is back!
