The game does change during the preseason with actual game planning and star players on the field, but there are things we can learn in these exhibition matchups. Here are five questions answered after the second round of games.

Jaxson Dart took another step Saturday night toward grabbing the Giants’ starting quarterback job if Russell Wilson falters early this regular season.

Having finished the first half with a three-and-out while (notably) playing with the starters, Dart lined up for second down at the Jets’ 20-yard line early in the second half. Then he spotted a wide-open Greg Dulcich sprinting over the middle — and fired the ball to him for a touchdown.

Jaxson Dart’s preseason brilliance has Colin Cowherd convinced that mentorship from Lane Kiffin and Brian Daboll has built his confidence.

We love that Dart stuffed the stat sheet against an SEC gauntlet, but he buttered his bread on his first 1-2 reads. If the progression had to go longer it … simply didn’t. Dart would tuck and run. He scrambled a somewhat ridiculous 45 times considering his average athleticism.

Following Saturday night's matchup between the Giants and the New York Jets, Griffin took to social media to praise Dart's effort throughout his second NFL showing. It's safe to say the former Washington Commanders star is impressed with the first-round pick.
