Following an 0-3 start to the season, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll faced mounting pressure, with speculation that his position may be at risk for the remainder of the year. In a move perceived by some as an effort to salvage his job, Daboll named rookie Jaxson Dart as the starting quarterback for Sunday’s game.
Dart and the Giants secured their first victory of the season, marked by a heartfelt embrace between Daboll and Dart as they walked off the field for postgame handshakes.

During his postgame press conference, Dart expressed strong support for his head coach.
“When you have a coach who you know has your back, I’m gonna go out there and do everything I can for him,” he said.
Despite winning only three games in their third year, general manager Joe Schoen and Daboll were retained by ownership during the offseason. While continuity could benefit the Giants moving forward, the team’s performance will heavily influence whether the current leadership remains in place for 2026.
Dart’s success will be instrumental in shaping the legacy of Schoen and Daboll, and it is clear that the rookie quarterback is firmly committed to supporting his head coach.
