This past week of football proved a glimpse into the future of the Meadowlands, as Jaxson Dart helped the Giants emerge victorious in his NFL debut. The Jets fought another close battle, losing their third game of the season by less than a touchdown.
Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Jets
The New York Jets will be returning to MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 5 to take on the Dallas Cowboys. Coming off another close game, the Jets are slight underdogs to win the game, though the odds stand at about even. The Cowboys are coming off one of the most entertaining games of the year this past week, which ended in a 40-40 tie against the Green Bay Packers.
The Jets fell to the Miami Dolphins 27-21 on Monday Night Football in their latest matchup, though glimpses of the offense shined. The team has routinely fallen just short in close matches and is hoping to finally end up on the winning side of a tough battle.
Justin Fields impressed in the Jets’ game against the Dolphins, throwing for over 200 yards and rushing for over 80. The versatile quarterback even notched both a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown. His performance will be a key factor in the team’s upcoming game.
New York Giants vs. New Orleans Saints
Jaxson Dart is looking to start his career 2-0, as the Giants prepare to take on the New Orleans Saints this week. After taking down the undefeated Chargers last week, the Saints will be the next challenge for the Giants, however, not as tough.
The Giants will be relying on their young stars in Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo to help propel this team to its second consecutive victory after beating the Chargers by a score of 21-18. Dart recorded a passing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in his debut, while avoiding any turnovers. He will look to build on this impressive performance in the coming week, as the defense also hopes to continue performing well.
Both teams are in games that could go either way, with their quarterbacks being the potential game changers in each match. The Giants will hope for continued success from its young and blossoming rookie, while the Jets look to capitalize on Justin Fields’ versatility at the position. On Sunday, at 1 p.m., both teams will take the field in search of victory. With promising matchups, an entertaining week of football is ahead for the Meadowlands.
