New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart talked about fans chanting for him to replace Russell Wilson at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night. With Wilson struggling to make any offensive impact, the visiting Kansas City Chiefs secured a 22-9 victory in Week 3.

"I didn't really pay attention to it," Dart said of the crowd reaction after the game. "Just trying to get the ball out of the huddle fast, trying to just have a clear operation behind the line of scrimmage. ... I was just focused on the play."

The Giants acquired Jaxson Dart in the first round of this year's NFL draft. Despite a strong preseason, he was named the backup on the depth chart while Russell Wilson took over as the starting quarterback.

However, after three consecutive losses to start the season, fans are questioning the veteran's fit as the QB1 of the team. On Sunday against the Chiefs, Wilson went just 18 of 32 for 160 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions.

Giants HC Brian Daboll asked about Jaxson Dart taking over as the team's starting quarterback

In the postgame news conference, Giants coach Brian Daboll was asked whether he would replace Russell Wilson with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart after a 0-3 record. However, he didn't give a conclusive answer.

"Yeah, you guys have asked me about players after games. I'm not gonna answer that," Daboll said as per CBS Sports.

"Jaxson's progressing well. We'll continue to work with him. I got a lot of confidence in him, his development that he's had, and that's what we'll continue to do. Look, I'd be booing too, to be honest with you, in terms of not being good enough, not scoring, not finishing. I understand that. That's the nature of it. We gotta be better."

Jaxson Dart came in for just one play on Sunday against the Chiefs, making his debut at MetLife Stadium. The Giants next face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
