@art_stapleton Sometimes I worry he’s too cool.

@art_stapleton Ah. I see he stole Eli’s look. That’s fine.

The game against the Cowboys marks Dart’s first time starting a Week 1 game, as he sat on the bench behind Russell Wilson in his 2025 debut. During practice on Wednesday, he expressed his excitement at this milestone:

“I think that I’ve just been waiting for this. I think this is just the coolest stage, the coolest opportunity to play in front of our fans, Sunday night football against a team like the Cowboys and go out there and compete and it’s going to be an electric atmosphere and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”

Meanwhile, head coach Jim Harbaugh spoke about his mindset entering the game:

“I know he’s prepared. He couldn’t have prepared any more or work any harder, or been more determined to be ready. I know he knows the game plan. … He’s worked really hard. He’s diligent. He wants to do well. He wants to understand everything inside out. He wants to be sharp and on point. So, he’s prepared to play.”

A day after John Harbaugh and Jaxson Dart spoke, it was offensive coordinator Matt Nagy’s turn, among others’. In his media session, he expressed his vision of letting the quarterback “be himself”:

“We want Jaxson to be able to play fast. … And it’s our job as coaches to take all this time that we’ve had to do it. And that’s what we’ve put together: a game plan that we think is to his strengths. But at the same time, we got to make sure that there’s going to be times where we just got to let him cut it loose and continue to build every week.”

He continued:

“This isn’t ‘There’s going to be good plays, there’s going to be bad plays,’ but how does he keep that up? … So, I want him to stay calm, extremely confident, play fast and execute and just be a complete leader, but also just be himself, man. Cut it loose and have fun.”

Kickoff for the Giants-Cowboys game is at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
