New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart hit the highest of highs and the lowest of lows all in one game on Sunday as the team fell to the Chicago Bears, 24-20.
Dart was 19-of-29 with 242 passing yards. He also ran for 66 yards and scored two touchdowns. But his day was cut short when he hit his head on the ground fumbling with the football in the third quarter. He left the game with a concussion and the Giants made it from there.

Still, the former Ole Miss product etched his name into the NFL history books with his performance.
Dart became the only rookie quarterback to record a rushing touchdown in five consecutive games. He joined former Carolina Panthers star Cam Newton as the only rookie quarterbacks in league history to have at least seven rushing touchdowns through the first seven starts of their career.

He is also the fifth rookie quarterback with at least five games of at least 50 rushing yards.
It is unclear how long Dart will be out as he must go through all concussion checks before returning to the field. He was already in the blue tent earlier this season during a Thursday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll was fined for going into the blue tent to see how Dart was doing.
“When he got back on the field, it just didn’t seem right, so the coaches called over and said, ‘Let’s get him out and make sure he gets looked at,'” Daboll said Sunday.

Russell Wilson entered the fray for Dart but did little to inspire confidence in the attack. It is unclear if Wilson will be the starter for the team’s next game. The Giants also have Jameis Winston on the roster.
