The health and safety of New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has been a controversial and recurring issue this season. In their 29-21 loss to the Washington Commanders, there was yet another incident regarding his protection.

Speaking of divisional games, the Giants can aim for a .500 record against their division opponents, something they last accomplished in 2020 (4-2), if they take care of business against Washington today and then Dallas in the regular-season finale at home.

With the Giants up 10 points late in the third quarter, the rookie quarterback took off on what would have been a first-down run. But at the end of the scramble, he lost the ball and slammed his head hard into the turf.
