The New York Giants have changed their vibes with Jameis Winston under center. However, with the Monday Night Football game against the New England Patriots just a few days ago, they received an update on starting quarterback Jaxson Dart.

Jaxson Dart finally cleared concussion protocol. However, the team has played well with Jameis Winston. Mike Kafka, interim head coach, confirmed that the Giants will deploy Dart as the starter.

Dart missed two games and the Giants lost both of them, but both were one-score games. Winston completed 56.9% of his passes for 567 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Classic Jameis form.

Jameis brings a different vibe than Dart

Dart is a mobile QB with a big arm and ability to run. Winston is more of a pocket passer, but can move and is a wild man. His recklessness is his best and worst asset at the same time.

For Dart, he needs to take care of himself while running, but the fact of the matter is that he is a dual-threat quarterback. Against the Patriots, the Giants need to be absolutely fearless. In the end, they are facing one of the best teams in the NFL.

The Patriots can’t afford to lose this game

The Patriots are 10-2 atop of the AFC. However, a loss paired with a Broncos win would bring them back to the second seed of the conference. This would mean New England would lose the bye week and lose a possible AFC Championship Game at home.

That is absolutely not what the Patriots want. Hence, they cannot overlook the Giants, especially after a long week of preparation. This is a must-win game for the Pats, but the Giants have nothing to lose. It can be a good primetime showdown.
