Despite briefly losing Jordan Love to a shoulder injury, the Green Bay Packers managed to bounce back and hand the New York Giants their fifth consecutive loss.
Backup quarterback Malik Willis stepped in and scored in the first quarter during Love’s brief absence.
The Giants entered the game dealing with their own quarterback concerns as rookie starter Jaxson Dart suffered a concussion. Before Sunday’s game began, ESPN reported that people within the Giants organization encouraged Dart to “be more mindful of when and how often he competes when he returns to the field.”

Dart has provided a spark to the Giants’ offense since replacing veteran signal-caller Russell Wilson. But Dart took a hit and had to enter the blue medical tent for a concussion evaluation in New York’s 24-20 loss to the Chicago Bears last week.
Dart visited the tent several times during his rookie season; Jacobs hopes the young quarterback can avoid this situation in the future by being more careful on the football field.

“You’ve got to get down, man. You’ve got to learn to skate, you’ve got to learn to go out of bounds when you have to,” Jacobs said. he told TMZ Sports. “This is not your tough guy sport, running, running into people, trying to truck people.”

Jacobs added, “It’s never going to be in his favor to suffer that kind of defeat the entire game. It’s never going to be in our team’s favor!”

Jacobs also had words of wisdom for Cam Skattebo, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury last month. “Listen to the doctors,” he said, “and don’t try to do more than you have to.”
