Jaxson Dart took another step Saturday night toward grabbing the Giants’ starting quarterback job if Russell Wilson falters early this regular season.

Led by rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, the New York Giants lit up the skies and the Jets in a 31-12 victory to close out Week 2 of the preseason.

The Giants are in a much better position to avoid such a rash departure from their plan. Wilson is a proven veteran with a potential Hall of Fame pedigree. He represents a bridge option that should prevent the Giants from forcing an acceleration of Dart’s timeline.
