Giants QB Jaxson Dart Acknowledges Blame in 26-14 Loss to Saints

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart experienced a challenging second start in the NFL, following a victorious debut against the Los Angeles Chargers with a 26-14 loss to the previously winless New Orleans Saints. Despite completing 65% of his passes and throwing two touchdowns, Dart was responsible for three turnovers, including two interceptions, contributing to the Giants' series of five consecutive turnovers that ultimately cost them the game. Dart accepted full responsibility for the defeat, emphasizing his role as the offensive leader and his commitment to improving and leading the team to victories. The Giants started strong, leading 14-3 early on, but mistakes and turnovers derailed their momentum, exposing ongoing offensive weaknesses, especially with key receiver Malik Nabers sidelined due to injury. The game underscored the team's struggles with consistency and the steep learning curve for their rookie quarterback, with Dart acknowledging the need to reduce errors to achieve sustained success. This defeat leaves the Giants at a 1-4 record, facing a difficult schedule ahead and questions about their offensive capabilities.
