Jaxson Dart’s mom all smiles after Giants’ win

Kara Dart was all smiles Thursday night as she watched her son, New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, lead his team to a victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

The rookie was 17-of-25 with 195 passing yards, a touchdown pass and a rushing touchdown in the 34-17 win. He was the first Giants rookie quarterback to lead his team to a victory over the Eagles since Travis Tidwell in Week 11 in 1950.

Kara Dart and her husband, Brandon, were off to the side as their son appeared with rookie running back Cam Skattebo for the Amazon Prime Video postgame show. Charissa Thompson remarked to Kara that her son was extremely polite and wondered what seeing the victory at MetLife Stadium meant to her.

“Well, I’m gonna get emotional,” she said. “I think when you have a child that works as hard as he does, and dreams as big as he dreams, that’s what you want for him. You want him to reach those dreams. So, it’s really special.”

Brandon Dart said his son expressed confidence that the team would pull off a win.
