Parsons’ praise for Dart after the win
Micah Parsons, who spent his first four NFL seasons with Dallas, reacted to the Giants’ victory and Dart’s performance. A defensive lineman most recently with Green Bay, Parsons highlighted the team’s defensive effort and Dart’s command at the line of scrimmage. He noted that the Giants touched the ball just twice in the second half and emphasized Dart’s leadership and intelligence at the line of scrimmage. Parsons said he’s excited to see how Dart develops over the season and believes the Giants will follow his progress.
Dart’s debut as a starter
In his first-season opener as the Giants’ starter, Dart faced a more demanding role and handled it with poise. He made several pre-snap adjustments and orchestrated a 13-play, 65-yard fourth-quarter touchdown drive that helped seal the victory for New York.
Parsons’ background
Parsons was selected 12th overall by the Cowboys in the 2021 NFL Draft after starring at Penn State. He recorded 52.5 sacks in 63 games across four seasons with Dallas and earned a Pro Bowl berth each year. He moved to Green Bay during the 2025 offseason in a trade that sent defensive tackle Kenny Clark and first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 to Dallas. Parsons signed a four-year, $188 million contract with the Packers. He is currently working his way back from a knee injury that ended his 2025 season and was placed on the Packers’ reserve/PUP list ahead of the 2026 season, keeping him out for at least the opening portion of the campaign.
