Despite being thrown to his own bench against the New England Patriots on Sunday night, New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart made it clear that he has no interest in changing his style of play.
The question was posed again to Dart after he took a big hit from Patriots linebacker Christian Elliss in the first quarter, sparking a skirmish between the players. The hit raised eyebrows among fans as Dart missed the last two games with a concussion and had been in the blue medical tent during games earlier to be examined for injuries.

Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden even implored him on social media to go out of bounds on those types of plays.
Still, Dart was defiant.
“I understand the question, but this is football. I’m going to get hit if I’m in or out of the pocket,” Dart said. “I’ve played this way my whole life. It shouldn’t surprise anyone if you’ve followed my career. We don’t play football here. You’ll get hit, things happen. It’s just part of the game.”

The Giants turned in one of the worst performances of the season.
Dart had a touchdown pass to Darius Slayton in the first half, but they entered the locker room trailing 30-7. New York couldn’t do much in the second half. The Giants managed to score another touchdown and a 2-point conversion in the fourth quarter, but the defense’s inability to stop the Patriots didn’t help much in the hope department.
