New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart is sick of losing.

The New York Giants got blown out by the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football, losing by a final score of 33-15. 

Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart, who took a huge hit during the game, told reporters on Tuesday that it was an "embarrassing" loss. 

"They beat us in all three phases," Dart said. "It's definitely an embarrassing loss to lose like that. So there's a lot to clean up. There's some good spots too. So hopefully we can have this time to self reflect and finish the year out strong."

Dart went 17-24 through the air for 139 yards and one touchdown against the Patriots. He also carried the ball four times for 20 yards. 

The Giants are 2-11 on the season. They are one of the worst teams in the NFL, but at least they don't have to draft a QB in the first round of the 2026 draft. 

Dart, who took over for Russell Wilson in Week 4, has 1,556 passing yards, 11 passing touchdowns, three interceptions, 337 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns on the season. He's completing 63.6% of his passes. 

Patriots defender Christian Elliss destroyed Dart on a massive hit that caused a huge fight. The Giants recently urged Dart to be more thoughtful with when and how he runs.

"No, look, I understand the question, but this is football," Dart said. "I'm going to get hit if I'm in the pocket or outside the pocket. I feel like I played this way my whole entire life. It shouldn't be any shocker to anybody if you followed along with my career.

"We're not playing soccer out here. You're going to get hit. Things happen. It's just part of the game."

Against the Chicago Bears in Week 10, Dart was checked for a concussion for the fourth time this season, including the preseason. He didn't play in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers or Week 12 against the Detroit Lions.

"Like I said, I played like this my whole life," Dart said. "Turn on my high school tape, turn on my college tape, it's not a shocker to anybody. It's how I've played. I felt like if you just watch the game, like, I did slide. I did avoid a lot of hits, so you're going to get hit. It's football."
