Former Ole Miss Standout was the second quarterback since 2000, which had a passing touchdown, rushing touchdown and haste for at least 50 meters in his first start since Tebow did so with Denver Broncos in 2010, according to NFL Research.

He ended 13-of-20 with 111 passing yards. His touchdown -pas went to Theo Johnson.

“I have a lot of confidence in our rookie -quarterback,” Giant’s head coach Brian Daboll said. “But he’s a rookie -quarterback, so there will be mistakes being made. We know it. There will be more next week there were some this week. It won’t be perfect.”

NFL Research said Dart was the first quarterback to win his first career start to a team that was at least 3-0 in the last 23 years. The last quarterback to do it was St. Louis Rams star Marc Bulger against Oakland Raiders in October 2002.

Like Dart, Tebow was also a draft of the first round in 2010. He started the first start of his career in week 15 against Raiders.
