There’s something special about the Giants vs. Eagles matchup. The bi-annual rivalry often produces fascinating results, and QB Jaxson Dart gets to put his own touch on it the rivalry for the first time in his young NFL career, facing off against the visiting Eagles inside MetLife Stadium on Thursday night at 8:20 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
Dart has had an up-and-down start to his first season, contributing 2 touchdowns and a win over the Chargers, but he looked shaky in last week’s loss to the previously winless New Orleans Saints.

Jaxson Dart Projections, Pick for Thursday Night Football
With Nabers out and other offensive injuries for the Giants, Dart has often had to be his own source of offense, especially on the ground.
The rookie has 312 passing yards and a 3:2 touchdown-to-interception ratio to go along with 19 carries for 109 rushing yards and a touchdown despite the loss of superstar WR Malik Nabers in the Chargers game.
With 50+ rushing yards in both games he’s started, Dart could be busy in this game as well. The Eagles have allowed QBs to rush for 6+ yards per carry in three of their last four games and could easily struggle to contain the Giants’ shiny new QB in this game, too.
