Jaxson Dart led the New York Giants to their first victory of the season after replacing Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback. Dart was handed the keys to the offense following a 0-3 start to the season. The move paid off as the Giants secured a 21-18 win over the LA Chargers on Sunday.

Dart, the No. 25 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, addressed his teammates in the locker room after his first start in the NFL.

"The expectation every time we step on the f****** field is to f****** win," Dart said. "Every rep in practice, every one-on-one, it don't f****** matter, the expectation is to win. I'm proud of y'all boys. S*** wasn't clean all the way through on the offensive side, but defense, y'all boys held it down for us, so much appreciated. Love y'all boys. Now, let's f****** start stacking this s***."
