The New York Giants capped off their 2025 NFL preseason finale with a dominant 42-10 win over the New England Patriots, but the final score quickly took a backseat to the unexpected removal of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart under the league’s concussion protocol following a first-half collision. Despite his standout play throughout August, Dart appeared visibly surprised and frustrated by the decision to sideline him. Dart was removed in the first quarter of the preseason finale after a fourth-down scramble that ended with a headfirst dive and a hard hit from behind.
