"However, they nearly beat the Lions last week in a game that went into overtime, with QB Jameis Winston throwing for nearly 400 yards and two touchdowns in Detroit. It looked like that could be a problem for New England's defense, but they might run into bigger trouble now that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has cleared concussion protocol and will be the starter on Monday Night."
"He was a force during their preseason matchup in August, and although the Giants' record isn't too impressive since he became the starter in Week 4, Dart has been an explosive player to watch this season, and the Patriots will have to properly prepare for that now. Jaxson Dart gives the Giants an edge against the Patriots this week"
"Since making his NFL debut against the Chargers, Dart has led the Giants to a 2-5 record but has shown many traits of a future franchise quarterback for a desperate New York team. That doesn't bode well for a Patriots' defense that is already down Milton Williams, their best run defender and 1-2 punch pass rusher alongside Christian Barmore. He's not a turnover machine the way Winston is, so that is another part of his game that they won't be able to rely on."
The New England Patriots aim to extend a win streak Monday Night against the New York Giants after a close win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Giants nearly defeated the Detroit Lions in overtime when Jameis Winston threw for nearly 400 yards and two touchdowns. Rookie Jaxson Dart has cleared concussion protocol and will start, bringing preseason explosiveness and traits of a potential franchise quarterback despite a 2-5 record since his debut. The Patriots' defense is undermanned, missing key run defender Milton Williams and other players limited by injuries, increasing concern about containing Dart and the Giants' offense.
