What a swing at MetLife. The Giants snapped back with a gritty 21-18 win over the Chargers, turning Week 4 into a blue-collar brawl that fit the Jersey vibes. Big headline before kickoff: New York handed the keys to rookie QB Jaxson Dart and stared down a Chargers team that rolled in at 3-0 under Jim Harbaugh. Consider that challenge accepted. (espn.com)

New York punched first, riding Cam Skattebo body blows to set up Dart’s lane-departure, a 15-yard keep for six. The defense added spice: a late-first takeaway by Dexter Lawrence II set up points, and while L.A. steadied itself, Quentin Johnston flashed the first-round burst with a 36-yard strike right before the break. He finished at 8 catches, 98 yards, 1 TD, but the G-Men’s 13-10 halftime edge said this would be a trench war.

Then the third quarter got loud. Slot rookie Dru Phillips jumped a route and roared 56 yards to the doorstep, and Dart found Theo Johnson for a short TD before Skattebo mashed in the two-pointer. L.A. answered instantly with a fireworks show: Omarion Hampton hit turbo for a 54-yard house call and Justin Herbert kept the conversion to make it 21-18. From there, it was sweat and stops—New York got stonewalled at the 1, but the defense slammed the door late, highlighted by a monster Brian Burns sack for minus-16 that flipped field and momentum for good.

Big Dill of the Game: Jaxson Dart. The kid was cool in rush-hour traffic, posting 13/20 for 111 yards and a TD, plus 10 rushes for 54 yards and another score—and more importantly, he made the one or two winning plays this knife-fight demanded. Hat tips to Skattebo (25 carries, 79 yards of ballast), the takeaway tandem (Dexter and Dru), and a tip-your-cap to Hampton (12 for 128 and a TD) for keeping L.A. in it. One note to monitor: standout WR Malik Nabers left with a right knee injury and was carted off during the game; more updates to come. (sbnation.com)
