Jaxson Dart Named Giants Starter After Russell Wilson Benching

After a 21-6 opener loss, the Giants benched Russell Wilson and handed the offense to rookie Jaxson Dart. Wilson went 17-of-37 for 168 yards with no touchdowns against Washington. Dart impressed in preseason, completing 88% with two scores vs. the Jets. The move signals a fast pivot from veteran stability to upside and urgency.
