The team will attempt to get back on track against Jaxson Dart and the New York Giants in Week 9.</p><p>San Francisco’s defensive coordinator Robert Saleh is making his return to MetLife Stadium. And the former New York Jets head coach is impressed with the Giants’ rookie QB. So impressed that he doesn’t blame Brian Daboll for his <a href="https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1983987681807000006" rel="noopener">Week 6 faux pas</a> involving the league’s concussion protocol.</p><p>“[Dart’s] uber talented. I understand why Daboll went to the blue tent, I probably would have went too. I mean the kid’s good man. He’s a really, really, really good kid. I think New York hit it on this one. Big time,” Saleh said, per The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov.</p><h2><b>49ers’ DC impressed by Jaxson Dart ahead of Week 9 clash</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Jaxson-Dart_90be71.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Giants scored a huge victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. However, Dart took a big hit in the third quarter and was required to be evaluated for a concussion. While he was in the blue medical tent, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-nfl-nflpa-jaxson-dart-concussion-protocol-measures">Daboll broke league protocol</a> by peeking in on the exam to check on his quarterback.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Brian Daboll checking in on his QB <a href="https://t.co/R27Dj99Cef">pic.twitter.com/R27Dj99Cef</a></p><p>— Bobby Skinner (@BobbySkinner_) <a href="https://twitter.com/BobbySkinner_/status/1976474976510410878?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 10, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The Giants’ head coach apologized for the transgression, explaining that he just wanted to get an idea of how long Dart would be sidelined. But it was a costly mistake. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-new-york-jaxson-dart-concussion-protocol-violation-fine">NFL fined the Giants $200,000</a> for the violation. Daboll got hit with a $100k fine and even Cam Skattebo was penalized $15,000, as the running back also checked in on Dart.</p><p>Still, Saleh gets it. “[Dart’s] dynamic, he’s decisive, he’s accurate. He’s been a joy to watch studying his tape over the last…  five starts now… This kid, he’s gonna be special,” he said.</p><p>Saleh is tasked with taming the Giants’ offense ahead of New York’s matchup with a battered 49ers squad. San Francisco is dealing with injuries on both sides of the ball. However, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-san-francisco-about-to-get-much-needed-injury-reinforcements">49ers expect defensive reinforcements</a> soon.</p><p>Despite the injuries, including <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-nick-bosa-torn-acl-vs-cardinals-done-season">Nick Bosa’s season-ending ACL tear</a>, Saleh has transformed the 49ers’ defense in 2025. San Francisco had the 29th-ranked scoring defense last season, but the unit is eighth-best in the league through eight weeks under Saleh.</p><p>The veteran coach resumed his role as the 49ers’ DC this season after a raw deal with the Jets. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/49ers-news-robert-saleh-head-coach-endorsement-san-francisco-players">Saleh should get another head coaching opportunity</a>. But for now, his focus is on stopping Dart and the Giants’ offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As a dual-threat back, he also recorded 24 receptions for 207 yards and two receiving touchdowns, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-watch-cam-skattebo-school-eagles-sick-td">including an 18-yard catch that tied the score 7–7 early in Sunday’s game</a>.</p><p>Dart, who has taken over as the team’s starter from Russell Wilson, was visibly shaken on the Fox broadcast. Cameras captured Dart screaming in disbelief, taking a knee, and watching helplessly as his teammate was assisted off the field.</p><p>After the game, Dart took to Instagram <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/10/26/sports/jaxson-dart-posts-heartfelt-message-to-cam-skattebo-after-injury-in-giants-loss/" rel="noopener">to post a heartfelt message</a> to Skattebo:</p><p>“[heartbroken] my brother Mann,” Dart wrote in the post. “Got your back no matter what dawg! GODS PLAN.”</p><p>He also addressed the injury in a press conference, stating:</p><p>“I was devastated,” Dart said. “That’s my boy. Seeing him go down and reacting to what happened, it sucks. It’s the worst part of this game.”</p><p>New York’s defeat was made heavier by a historically poor defensive effort. Former Giant Saquon Barkley rushed for 150 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, while Tank Bigsby added 104 yards on nine attempts. In total, New York allowed 277 rushing yards, the first time the team conceded two 100-yard rushers in a single game this season.</p><p>Jalen Hurts exploited the Giants’ weakened secondary, completing 20 passes and throwing four touchdowns, despite being sacked four times. The defense was missing Paulson Adebo, Chauncey Golston, Jevon Holland, and Cor’Dale Flott due to injuries.</p><p>Meanwhile, Dart finished 14 of 24 for 193 yards with a passing touchdown and added a rushing score, his fourth of the season. Wide receiver Darius Slayton, returning from a hamstring injury, connected with Dart for several key gains, though a deep 68-yard touchdown was nullified by a penalty.</p><p>In Skattebo’s place, Tyrone Tracy Jr. assumed lead back duties, rushing 10 times for 39 yards. While he possesses prior experience, surpassing 1,000 all-purpose yards in 2024, his physical style and dual-threat capabilities are unlikely to fully replicate Skattebo’s impact.</p><p>The Giants, now 2-6, return home to take on the 5–3 San Francisco 49ers, who also experienced a Sunday loss to the Houston Texans.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Giants were fined $200,000, Daboll was fined $100,000, and running back Cam Skattebo was fined $15,000<a href="https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1981765516504314026" rel="noopener"> for interfering with</a> the concussion protocol.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Here’s the full announcement, which notes the NFL and NFLPA “concluded that the team medical staff and unaffiliated medical providers properly followed all of the steps required by the collectively bargained and administered concussion protocol in their evaluation of Mr. Dart.” <a href="https://t.co/H6NX2nhdqo">https://t.co/H6NX2nhdqo</a> <a href="https://t.co/TNy8YI3Lvt">pic.twitter.com/TNy8YI3Lvt</a></p><p>— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) <a href="https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1981765516504314026?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 24, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“The NFL and NFLPA concluded that the Giants violated the protocol when Head Coach Brian Daboll and running back Cam Skattebo entered the medical tent and spoke with Mr. Dart before his evaluation was complete, creating the perception that they were interfering with Dart’s exam,” an NFL statement obtained by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reads.</p><p>The statement goes on to say that Daboll and Skattebo did not impact the result of the concussion test. Because they broke the rule, they got punished. But there was nothing they did that impacted Dart’s positive result that put him back in the game.</p><p>With this situation behind them, the Giants now look to a rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. They just <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-kirk-herbstreit-joins-jaxson-dart-fan-club-after-beating-eagles">beat the Eagles on Thursday Night Football in Week 6</a>, the highlight of Dart’s young career so far. Hitting the road for a matchup in Philly is a different animal, however.</p><p>Dart has already dealt with a few different injury scares in his four-game run as the quarterback. He, like many rookie quarterbacks, has a lot to learn in terms of sliding while scrambling and taking his medicine when a play falls apart. The Eagles’ defense will not hold back against their division rivals in a must-win game.</p><p>The Giants have a relatively clean bill of health heading into Sunday’s matchup. Kicker Graham Gano is back at practice just after his replacement played a role in blowing Week 7’s game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Broncos’ leader, however, clarified his remarks involving Wilson and Jaxson Dart.</p><p>Payton mentioned how he hoped the New York Giants would make a change to Wilson during the game. <a href="https://x.com/mikeklis9news/status/1981100303752819022" rel="noopener">But spent Wednesday clarifying</a> those comments via Mike Klis of 9News in Denver.</p><p>“Sean Payton said he wasn’t referencing Russ when he was praising Dart. He can see why it was interpreted that way but wasn’t knocking Russ,” Klis posted on the social media website X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>Wilson and Payton, though, endured a rough period together in Denver — with only one season together.</p><h2>Ex-Broncos QB Russell Wilson brought up infamous Sean Payton moment</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Giants-vs.-Broncos.jpg"><figcaption>Isaiah J.

Payton, though, never put a stop to the motive his defensive coordinator Gregg Williams implemented and took the season-long suspension.</p><p>Meanwhile, Payton and Wilson’s relationship soured immediately amid reports the head coach considered benching him early — all involving his massive contract at the time. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/why-russell-wilson-should-be-thanking-sean-payton-after-broncos-cut">Denver eventually cut Wilson in March 2024.</a></p><p>The past Super Bowl winner with the Seattle Seahawks has since lost his QB1 role to the rookie passer.

Allowing 33 fourth-quarter points after shutting out Denver for three quarters represents the kind of historic collapse that exposes fundamental coaching failures. With the Giants now sitting at 2-5 and having witnessed their rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart experience one of the most devastating defeats in franchise history, the time has come for ownership to acknowledge that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-brian-daboll-makes-tough-admission-week-7-meltdown-broncos">Daboll’s leadership has become a liability</a> rather than an asset.​</p><h2>The Numbers Don’t Lie: A Pattern of Failure</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Brian-Daboll_bef8a8.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Daboll’s overall record as Giants head coach tells a sobering story that goes far beyond Sunday’s meltdown. Currently sitting at 20-36-1 in the regular season, his .357 winning percentage ranks among the worst in franchise history. After his surprising 2022 Coach of the Year campaign that produced a 9-7 record and playoff berth, the Giants have gone just 11-29 under his guidance – a collapse that mirrors the fourth-quarter disaster against Denver.​</p><p>The statistical breakdown reveals the depth of the organizational dysfunction. Since that magical 2022 season, Daboll’s Giants have started 1-4 or worse six times in the last 10 seasons, the most in the NFL. This pattern of poor starts, combined with an inability to maintain leads when they do emerge, demonstrates a coaching staff that lacks both the preparation to begin seasons strong and the in-game management skills to close out victories.​</p><p>Sunday’s collapse wasn’t an outlier – it was the inevitable result of systematic failures that have plagued this coaching staff. The Giants’ defense, which had dominated for three quarters, allowed 227 of Denver’s 407 total yards in the final frame alone. This wasn’t simply players making mistakes; it was a complete breakdown of game management, defensive adjustments, and situational awareness that falls squarely on the coaching staff.​</p><h2>Game Management and Strategic Failures</h2><p>The Broncos game exposed Daboll’s most glaring weakness: <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-brian-burns-frustrations-way-off-field-collapse-broncos">his inability to manage games when victory appears assured</a>. Leading 19-0 entering the fourth quarter and later 26-8 with less than six minutes remaining, the Giants possessed win probabilities exceeding 99% according to advanced analytics. Teams in these situations had won 1,602 consecutive games before Sunday’s historic collapse – a streak that ended on Daboll’s watch.​</p><p>The defensive play-calling in the final moments particularly drew the ire of veteran players like Brian Burns, who was visibly furious about the decision to drop eight defenders into coverage on Denver’s final drive. This conservative approach gave Broncos quarterback Bo Nix the time he needed to find open receivers and orchestrate the game-winning field goal. Such decision-making represents the kind of coaching that prioritizes playing not to lose over playing to win – a mentality that has defined Daboll’s tenure since 2022.​</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Shane Bowen’s defense on first and 10 with 30 seconds left when Denver only needs 30 yards to get into field goal range. <a href="https://t.co/Xgmeyk2pwK">pic.twitter.com/Xgmeyk2pwK</a></p><p>— Giants 366 (@Giants366) <a href="https://twitter.com/Giants366/status/1980064581071282351?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 20, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>The Giants’ offensive execution also crumbled under pressure, with missed extra points and failed two-point conversions contributing to the narrow margin that made Denver’s comeback possible. While kicker Graham Gano shouldered responsibility for his misses, the coaching staff’s inability to address these fundamental execution issues speaks to broader systematic problems within the organization.​</p><h2>Quarterback Development and Future Concerns</h2><p>Perhaps most concerning is how this collapse affects Jaxson Dart’s development as the franchise quarterback of the future. Selected 25th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Dart showed flashes of brilliance throughout the game before throwing a crucial late interception that helped seal the defeat. The rookie threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns, demonstrating the arm talent and poise that made him an intriguing prospect.​</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Everyone is gonna blame the kicker for this Giants’ loss but this INT by Jaxson Dart was as big of disaster as those missed kicks.</p><p>If Brian Daboll call a run play and punt it deep, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Giants?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Giants</a> win the game.<a href="https://t.co/u0UrQ2x4KJ">pic.twitter.com/u0UrQ2x4KJ</a></p><p>— 𝐃𝐞𝐱 (@OldSchool_NFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/OldSchool_NFL/status/1980059549450330284?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 19, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>However, Dart’s post-game comments revealed the psychological damage inflicted by such a devastating loss. “It sucks,” he said simply, adding “It’s just a loss that shouldn’t have happened”. For a young quarterback still learning to navigate the NFL, experiencing such a historic collapse can create lasting confidence issues that impact long-term development.​</p><p>The Giants cannot afford to waste Dart’s rookie contract years under a coaching staff that has proven incapable of maximizing talent or creating winning environments. With the franchise having cycled through multiple quarterbacks during Daboll’s tenure – from Daniel Jones to Tommy DeVito to Drew Lock and now Dart – the pattern suggests coaching rather than personnel as the primary issue.​</p><p>The pressure on Dart to succeed immediately has only intensified after this collapse, with analysts already questioning whether he’s ready for the demands of being a franchise quarterback. A competent coaching staff would shield their rookie quarterback from such pressure while building systems that maximize his dual-threat capabilities. Instead, Daboll’s staff has created an environment where a promising young player must carry the weight of organizational dysfunction.​</p><p>The writing is on the wall for Brian Daboll’s tenure with the New York Giants. Sunday’s historic collapse against Denver wasn’t an aberration – it was the culmination of three years of declining performance, poor game management, and systematic failures that have made the Giants one of the NFL’s most disappointing franchises. With a talented rookie quarterback in Jaxson Dart and a defense capable of dominating elite opponents for three quarters, the pieces exist for success. What’s missing is the leadership to put those pieces together consistently.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jaxson Dart or not, Brian Daboll needs to go after Giants’ historic collapse vs. Broncos

As the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-news-jonathon-cooper-puts-jaxson-dart-on-notice-ahead-week-7">Giants prepare for a Week 7 clash against the Denver Broncos</a>, Dart gave insight into his and the team’s mindset heading into the matchup.</p><p>There is no denying that with the emergence of Dart and especially running back Cam Skattebo, despite the team encompassing many players besides them, they’ve brought a new energy to the team. The mindset they have, as Dart mentioned to ESPN, is that they are <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46606347/new-york-giants-jaxson-dart-cam-skattebo-vibes-unusually-high-week-7" rel="noopener">“trying to win at all costs.”</a></p><p>“I think the vibe is just we’re trying to set a standard in the locker room, we’re trying to play tough, we’re trying to win at all costs,” Dart said. “The guys are coming to work with the right mindset.”</p><p>While the energy has been palpable and helping the team, winning games has been a crucial part of the belief of New York, as Dart admitted.</p><p>“Winning helps. It definitely puts more smiles on people’s faces,” Dart said. “But at the same time, as players, this is what we come to work every day to do. So, we can’t treat it as something that’s surprising or out of the ordinary. We work our tails off to be able to go and win games. If we slouch at all in this league, you’re going to get beat. So, we’re just trying to prepare the right way and just keep the main thing the main thing.”</p><h2><b>Giants’ Jaxson Dart brings fuel to the team</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Jaxson-Dart_e287bd.jpg"><figcaption>Julian Leshay Guadalupe/NorthJersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-abdul-carter-injury-status-broncos-game">Giants prepare for the game against the Broncos</a>, the success of the team will fall on the shoulders of Dart, who has brought a major spark to the team. Assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka would speak on how the rookie has impacted New York.</p><p>“Whenever your leadership, and the quarterback particularly because he’s touching the ball every play, when you have that kind of spark, you have that kind of energy that you bring not only just to the huddle, to the field, but when you’re like that way in your meetings and you’re like that way in the hallway, in the locker room, and talking with the coaches and talking with the staff and talking with the people around the building, absolutely, that brings, it raises everyone’s level,” Kafka said.</p><p>At any rate, the Giants have a 2-4 record and look to for a win on Sunday against the Broncos.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His consistency and leadership have made him a respected voice in the locker room, and one who doesn’t shy away from sending messages to opponents.</p><p>Ahead of Denver’s Week 7 matchup against the New York Giants, Cooper was asked about facing rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. <a href="https://x.com/bylucaevans/status/1978601937554862305" rel="noopener">His answer made waves</a>, as reported by Luca Evans on X, formerly Twitter:</p><p>“He’s a young guy.

Cooper has made his warning clear — and when the two meet on Sunday, only one of them will get the last word.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
