Giants' long struggle since Manning

New York won two Super Bowls with Eli Manning but has suffered through 10 years of quarterback disappointment since his 2016 playoff exit, with only one divisional round appearance in 2022.

Dart showed rare promise early

In his first 14 starts, Jaxson Dart became the only NFL quarterback ever with 18-plus passing touchdowns and 9-plus rushing touchdowns, including a dominant Week 1 win over Dallas.

Dart's knee injury feared season-ending

The 23-year-old quarterback exited Monday's loss to the Rams with a knee injury that testing revealed could sideline him for an extended period, possibly the entire 2026 season.

Giants QBs plagued by injuries

Since 2019, New York's starting quarterbacks have missed 29 games combined. Daniel Jones missed 27 games in five seasons, while Dart has already been evaluated for injury in 44% of his NFL starts.

Jameis Winston takes over at 32

The Giants turn to backup Jameis Winston, a 32-year-old first overall pick from 2015 who was re-signed to a 13.5 million dollar extension with 12.24 million guaranteed in September.

Winston's recent struggles concerning

Winston came off the bench Monday and completed just 40.7% of his passes with an interception. Since 2022, he has more turnovers (22) than total touchdowns (21) as a starter.

Giants winless without Dart

New York is 0-5 in games started by Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson combined since drafting Dart 25th overall in 2025, averaging just 19.8 points per game.

Boulder rolls downhill again

The Giants' cycle of hope and disappointment continues. After one promising week, injury has derailed their season before it truly began, leaving fans to push the boulder up the hill once more.
