New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart led his team to an impressive 34-17 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw his first interception of the season and sparked controversy early in the game when his team ran four consecutive drive plays.
The Eagles scored their first touchdown of the game on the repetitive “push” sequence inside the New York 10-yard line. The referees also called a false start by the Eagles on one of those plays.

Prominent figures, including Green Bay Packers star linebacker Micah Parsons and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, criticized the Eagles for abusing the play on social media.
Dart overcame an injury scare in the third quarter when he had to leave the game and be examined by medical staff, as the Giants led by 10. But he returned on the next drive, eventually leading the Giants on a game-clinching touchdown drive to extend their lead to 17.
JETS’ UNINSPIRING GAME AGAINST COWBOYS ATTRACTS FANS’ REACTION

Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo barreled his way into the end zone from 4 yards out and twice from the 1-yard line. Dart came in intact on his 20-yard touchdown run and connected with Wan’Dale Robinson on a 35-yard catch-and-run to the end zone.
The rookies who fumbled Sunday in a turnover-heavy loss to New Orleans responded the way coach Brian Daboll expected. Dart finished 17 of 25 passing for 195 yards and 13 carries for 58 yards after receiving a concussion test following a big hit, while Skattebo ran a career-high 19 times for 98 yards.

This was just the Giants’ fourth win in their last 18 games against the Eagles.
