All eyes are on Jaxson Dart this week as the rookie QB gets his first real test against a tough Chargers defense. Drop your thoughts in the comments—will Dart rise to the challenge or struggle against one of the NFL’s best defenses?
This week’s matchup has drama everywhere. Gano hits IR, forcing the Giants to bring in Younghoe Koo to the practice squad. Koo’s track record with the Falcons has been solid, though he was recently cut after a rough Week 1. His addition could prove crucial as special teams take on added importance in what looks to be a defensive slugfest. Jude McAtamney also remains in the mix, giving the Giants multiple options at kicker moving forward.
LA comes in at 3-0, riding strong wins over the Chiefs, Raiders, and Broncos. Herbert is sharp, with 860 yards and six TDs already, while rookie Omarion Hampton is trying to hold down the run game after Najee Harris went down. The real danger lies in the receiving trio of Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Keenan Allen—each already finding the end zone multiple times this season. The offensive line is banged up, however, which could give the Giants’ pass rushers an opportunity to make Herbert uncomfortable.
Defensively, the Chargers have been elite. They allow just 16.7 points per game, rank 2nd in pass defense efficiency, and are lights out in the red zone with a league-best 25% scoring rate. Derwin James is playing at an All-Pro level, while LB Daiyan Henley is proving disruptive. With Khalil Mack out, the Chargers’ sack production may dip, but their ability to generate takeaways and tighten up in the red zone makes them one of the toughest units in football.
Keys to victory are clear: establish the run game—including Dart as a dual threat—pressure Herbert into mistakes, and get Nabors heavily involved in the passing attack. Limiting penalties and playing clean football will also be critical in keeping this game within reach. This is the moment for Jaxson Dart to prove he belongs under the lights.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
