The Giants’ decision to go with Jaxson Dart at quarterback paid off right away on Sunday.
Dart ran for a 15-yard touchdown on the team’s opening offensive possession and the Giants lead 7-0 with 9:20 left in the first quarter. It’s the first touchdown of Dart’s NFL career and the first touchdown the Chargers have allowed in the first quarter this season.
Dart ran three times for 28 yards and hit Malik Nabers twice for 20 yards on the drive. Nabers also drew a pass interference penalty and rookie running back Cam Skattebo ran four times for 27 yards.
The Chargers had a chance to keep their opening drive alive, but a drop by wide receiver Ladd McConkey on third down forced them to punt.
