Jaxson Dart calls Giants' home fan turnout 'lopsided' in favor of 49ers

Jaxson Dart had an interesting welcome to the NFL moment Sunday as the New York Giants fell 34-24 to the San Francisco 49ers. Playing at home at MetLife Stadium, it looked like the 49ers faithful outnumbered the Giant fans.

The loss Sunday dropped New York to 2-7 on the season while San Francisco improved to 6-3. Dart had a solid game, but not good enough to overcome an interesting crowd and a battered but talented 49ers’ team.

“That was interesting,” Dart said postgame. “I’ve never played at a home game where I felt like it was kind of lopsided in that department. But they have a good fan base and they traveled well.”

Dart finished the game 24-of-33 passing for 191 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for 56 yards and a score in the loss.

“My confidence doesn’t waver,” Dart said. “I feel like I work as hard as I can each and every week to prepare. I have confidence in the guys around me and I have confidence in the coaches. So that’s something that’s not going to waver at all.”

Head coach Brian Daboll has all the confidence in Dart too. But with seven losses on the record already, Daboll’s job might be in jeopardy at some point, considering there were hot seat rumors coming into the year.

“I understand the question, but I am going to give you the answer that I truly feel,” Dart said. “I can only control what I can control, and I don’t want to look at things that way. I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself in any regard. I want to just live in the moment that I have. I want to take advantage of the opportunities that I have. As a team, we should be thinking that same way. We have a chance to win every game that we have on our schedule. That’s how I feel.

“So we’ve got to find a way as players, the guys who are out there on the field, to make enough plays to win the game and that’s kind of how I view things. The coaches, they call the plays, but a play can technically work against any defense or any coverage or whatever it is. The same thing goes on the defensive side. As players, we’ve got to be better. They are not the ones out there on the field. We are. Us, as a team, need to be better that way.”
