New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart hit the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in a single game on Sunday as the team lost to the Chicago Bears, 24-20.
Dart was 19 of 29 with 242 passing yards. He also ran for 66 yards and scored two touchdowns. But his day was cut short when he hit his head on the dirt while fumbling the ball in the third quarter. He left the game with a concussion and the Giants unraveled from there.

Still, the former Ole Miss product etched his name in the NFL history books with his performance.
Dart became the only rookie quarterback to record a rushing touchdown in five consecutive games. He joined former Carolina Panthers star Cam Newton as the only rookie quarterbacks in league history to have at least seven rushing touchdowns in the first seven starts of his career.

He is also the fifth rookie quarterback to have five or more games with at least 50 yards rushing.
It is unclear how long Dart will be out as he must pass all concussion checks before returning to the field. He was already in the blue tent earlier this season in a Thursday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll was fined for going into the blue tent to see how Dart was doing.
“As he was getting back on the field, it didn’t look good, so he called the coaches and said, ‘Let’s take him out and make sure he gets looked at,’” Daboll said Sunday.

Russell Wilson entered the game for Dart, but did little to instill confidence in the offense. It is unclear if Wilson will start the team’s next game. The Giants also have Jameis Winston on the roster.
