Dart kicked off November by completing 24 of 33 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the 49ers. He also led the team with 56 rushing yards on eight attempts, including a six-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
While setting the aforementioned franchise record, he also became the third NFL rookie all-time to have a rushing and passing touchdown in five games. The others are Cam Newton (eight in 2011) and Justin Herbert (five in 2020). Both players went on to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
The Giants also played their first game without running back Cam Skattebo, who underwent successful surgery on his dislocated ankle. The fourth-round pick led all NFL rookies in yards from scrimmage and touchdowns until the season-ending injury. He had been nominated for Pepsi Rookie of the Week three times.
