The New York Giants just turned a bad night in Los Angeles into a full-blown nightmare.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported that quarterback Jaxson Dart has been officially ruled out for the rest of the game with a knee injury.
"Mike Garafolo reported the official injury designation from the team."
Before Dart headed to the locker room, the Giants were already trailing the Rams 14-3. Losing your starting quarterback while down double digits is the football equivalent of getting a flat tire on the way to a root canal.
New York’s offense was already stuck in the mud against a Los Angeles defense that still features Aaron Donald ruining game plans. Now, whoever takes the snaps has to navigate that pass rush without the benefit of a clean pocket or a functioning playbook.
For anyone holding a Giants moneyline ticket or banking on Dart’s passing props to hit, you have my permission to turn the television off and reclaim your evening. The math on a comeback just got impossibly steep.
The immediate focus shifts to the medical tent and the inevitable MRI tube. If Dart is sidelined beyond tonight, the Giants are staring down a season that could be over before the Halloween candy hits the shelves.
