Giants Upset Chargers; Nabers Likely Torn ACL

At MetLife Stadium the New York Giants upset the previously unbeaten Los Angeles Chargers 21-18 for their first win of the season. Rookie Jaxson Dart, making his first NFL start, completed 13-of-20 for 111 yards and a passing touchdown to Theo Johnson, and rushed for 54 yards with a rushing TD. New York’s defense turned two Justin Herbert interceptions into points while the offense allowed five sacks and Dart briefly left for a concussion evaluation. The victory was marred when WR Malik Nabers was carted off with a knee injury believed to be a torn ACL and is expected to undergo an MRI, leaving the receiving corps depleted as the Giants head to New Orleans. Coach Brian Daboll appears to have handed the starting job to Dart, relegating veteran Russell Wilson to backup and prompting midseason trade speculation linking Wilson to teams such as the Cincinnati Bengals.
