An extended Dart absence hands the offense to Jameis Winston and removes the designed quarterback run game and movement that helped New York stress Dallas in Week 1. With the injury now potentially season-ending, the Giants' quarterback outlook changes from a short-term backup problem to a possible season-long loss of their starter.
