In the lead-up to the Giants' Week 13 game against the Patriots, people inside and outside New York's organization urged rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who has drawn criticism for the way his fearless play puts him in harm's way, to be "more thoughtful" about when he runs. Well, it didn't take long for Dart, who on Monday returned to action after missing two games due to a concussion, to reignite conversations about his aggressive style.
Facing a second-and-13 from the Giants' 27-yard-line late in the first quarter, Dart escaped the pocket and scrambled to his right, looking to pick up the first down as Patriots linebacker Christian Elliss closed in towards the sideline ahead of the first-down marker. Elliss lowered his shoulder and popped Dart, sparking a brief altercation between the Giants and Patriots.
