The New York Giants suffered a fourth-quarter collapse in their Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears, dropping to 2-8 on the season. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart exited early with a concussion after a historic performance, fueling speculation about head coach Brian Daboll's job security. Russell Wilson relieved Dart but couldn't hold the lead as Caleb Williams led a late comeback.
In Week 10, the New York Giants faced the Chicago Bears in a game marked by rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart's early exit due to a concussion sustained on a running play in the second half. Dart, the 25th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft from Ole Miss, completed 19 of 29 passes for 242 yards before leaving. He also rushed six times for 66 yards and a touchdown, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to score a rushing touchdown in five consecutive games.
The Giants led 17-10 when Dart departed midway through the fourth quarter. Veteran Russell Wilson entered, completing a 41-yard pass to running back Devin Singletary that extended the advantage to 20-10 with just over 10 minutes remaining. However, the Bears rallied behind quarterback Caleb Williams, who scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes, including a 17-yard game-winning run with 1:47 left. Wilson finished 3 of 7 for 45 yards, was sacked twice, and the Giants' offense managed just seven yards during his three series, turning it over on downs to seal the loss.
This defeat extended New York's four-game losing streak and left them 0-6 on the road, dead last in the NFC East at 2-8. The collapse intensified scrutiny on head coach Brian Daboll, who is 20-40-1 in 61 regular-season games. Potential coaching candidates include Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, and Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, who mentored Dart in college, appears uninterested, with Dart's father Brandon relaying Kiffin's joke about the cold New York weather via the 'Bleav in Ole Miss' podcast.
Dart entered the game with 10 touchdown passes and three interceptions this season, winning two of his six starts since replacing Wilson.
