Jaxson Dart’s mom gets ’emotional’ in interview after thrilling Giants win

Jaxson Dart didn’t just reinvigorate a starving fanbase; he made his mom proud.

During the postgame show of “Thursday Night Football,” Prime Video’s Charissa Thompson asked Kara Dart, the quarterback’s mother, to share her thoughts on her son’s impressive early achievements following the Giants’ decisive 34-17 win against the Eagles.

As fans went wild from the stands, Thompson jumped off the set to ask his parents a few questions.

“I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention: Your son has such wonderful manners. As [Ryan Fitzpatrick] noted, you’ve raised him well,” Thompson said to Dart’s mother while spectators chanted “mama Dart” in the background. “How does it feel to witness what your son accomplished tonight?”

“Well, I’m about to get emotional,” Kara responded. “When you have a child who works as hard and dreams as big as he does, this is exactly what you hope for him… It just feels very special.”



“Jaxson knew [that the Giants] were going to have a good chance tonight,” Dart’s father, Brandon, added as their son tossed them the game ball and fans began chanting “Papa Dart.”

“He has unbelievable faith in his coaches and his teammates. He said, ‘We’re going to be good.’”

The Giants improved to 2-4 thanks to the heroics of Dart and his rookie partner in crime, running back Cam Skattebo.

Skattebo ran 19 times for 98 yards and three touchdowns as Big Blue melted an Eagles defense that looked like it wanted out after the Eagles’ AJ Dillon fumbled the ball away at the Giants’ 37-yard line with seven minutes to play.

Skattebo added that he also gave his family some memorabilia, handing his third touchdown ball to his father.

“That was my third touchdown ball,” Skattebo said. “I told him to come down and get it. I knew that was something that he embraces. He gets to my house, and he was like, ‘Where are your gloves. Where’s your jersey? Where’s your helmet?’ I know that means more to him than anything, and that’s something I love to do, is give back to him and the family and involve them in this.”

The Giants now have 10 days to prepare to head to Mile High and face the Denver Broncos in a game that may just be more competitive than previously thought.
