Jaxson Dart’s playing style remains a topic of discussion.

On Monday Night Football, the New York Giants’ rookie quarterback took a bone-crushing hit from Christian Elliss in the first quarter.

Dart scrambled outside of the pocket and attempted to pick up a first down with his legs, but not running out of bounds cost him dearly. The hit he took kicked off a brawl on the sidelines.

Mike Vrabel still saw it as a teaching moment, saying, “I wouldn’t get too cute over there by the sidelines.”

Giants tight end Theo Johnson kick-started the scuffle and was assessed a personal foul.

Despite delivering the hit to Jaxson Dart, Elliss was not flagged since the QB was still in bounds when the hit occurred.

New York didn’t show much fight in the game on Monday night as the Patriots seized a commanding 30-7 halftime lead

The game was essentially over.

The only notable play from the Giants was Jaxson Dart being slammed out of bounds.

Dart excites fans because, in eight NFL starts, he has shown the potential to become the franchise quarterback.

Unfortunately, he’ll never realize it if he continues to take big hits.

After missing two games due to a concussion, he does not plan on changing his playing style.

“This is football,” Dart said Monday night. “I’m going to get hit if I’m in the pocket or outside the pocket.”

“I feel like I played this way my whole entire life. It shouldn’t be any shocker to anybody if you followed along with my career. We’re not playing soccer out here. You’re going to get hit. Things happen. It’s just part of the game.”

On Tuesday’s episode of “First Things First,” FS1 personality Nick Wright blasted Dart for his defiant comments.

“Not only is this not admirable, it’s idiotic,” Wright said.

“It shows a lack of understanding of your importance to the team. And there is a responsibility the quarterback of a team has to be available.”

The 2-11 Giants are just trying to survive the remainder of the season.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
