Jaxson Dart’s honest take on rookie duo with Cam Skattebo sums it all up for Giants

New York Giants rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo have a clear goal in mind as they look to make their mark in the NFL.

What were you doing in your early 20s? Looking for a job? Playing video games? Breaking up with a partner? Well, for Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo, they're busy trying to carry the New York Giants.

The rookie tandem led the charge for the Giants on Thursday as they trampled the Philadelphia Eagles, 34-17, to earn their second win in three games.

The 22-year-old Dart started things for New York, recording two touchdowns in the first quarter, including a 20-yard rush. The 23-year-old Skattebo, meanwhile, followed it up with a career-high three touchdowns. He finished with 19 carries for a career-best 98 yards.

After the win, Dart stressed that he and Skattebo want to peel off the Giants' loser tag, which has hounded the team for several years.

“I just think there's, at times, some negativity surrounding here. For us, some of the new guys who are coming here, we just got here, so we don't feel like we were involved in the past. We've got a lot of winners on this team, guys who come out every single day, work their ass off to put on a good showing on Sundays,” said the 25th overall pick in a report from ESPN's Jordan Raanan.

The showering of praises after their victory over the Eagles could just very well be an overreaction. After all, it's just one game. But for a fanbase starved for success, every win is a cause for celebration.

“We just had some games, times, and moments where it hasn't gone our way. We do feel like we're a really good team, we have really good players. We're just trying to win games. We're just trying to stay internal and connected,” added Dart, who took over as starter for Russell Wilson in Week 4.

Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets Series History: Which team holds the edge heading to London?

The Denver Broncos and New York Jets have a rivalry that dates back to the old AFL days in the 1960s. They will now take it across the pond to London.

The Broncos have played in just two games since the start of the NFL International Series, with this being their first game in another country since October 30, 2022. The Jets have played in three games in the series, with the most recent coming last season in a 23-17 loss to the

Minnesota Vikings.

The Broncos and Jets have faced each other 42 times across their histories, with the Broncos holding a close edge in the all-time series,

23-18-1. However, no team has ever really dominated the series as it has gone back and forth.

The Jets have two separate three-game winning streaks over the Broncos and the Broncos won five straight over the Jets from 1967 to 1976. Aside from that, it's been like a teeter-totter.

Denver won the most recent meeting, beating the Jets 10-9 on the road on a rain-soaked field at MetLife Stadium. That got the Broncos to 2-2 on the season and though it wasn't pretty, it was a key win for the team.

The Broncos have a 1-1 record in international games while the Jets are 1-2. It will be a big game for both teams as the Broncos are sitting at 3-2 on the season following a huge win over the

Philadelphia Eagles last week. They don't want to lose all of that momentum to the league's last winless team, but Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is going to throw everything he can at Sean Payton's Broncos to get his first career win.

The Broncos and Jets are scheduled for kickoff at 7:30 AM Mountain time and the game will be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. It will be televised on NFL Network. Rich Eisen and Kurt Warner will call the action.
