Giants edge Titans 12-7 as quarterback Jaxson Dart out, Brian Burns injured

The New York Giants held off the Tennessee Titans 12-7 on Sunday, relying heavily on the running game after quarterback Jaxson Dart was ruled out for the season. In his first start, Jameis Winston completed 12 of 18 passes for 117 yards and added a 15-yard scramble, while the Giants amassed 141 rushing yards and converted four field goals by rookie kicker Dominic Zvada.

Midway through the fourth quarter, Giants defensive end Brian Burns left the field after injuring his right knee and required assistance from teammates Andrew Thomas and Aaron Stinnie. Burns had played six days after spraining his left ankle in a previous loss.

The Titans, winless in three games, managed their only touchdown when Cam Ward connected with Wan'Dale Robinson with 5:35 remaining. Ward missed an earlier opportunity in the end zone and was intercepted by Jevon Holland with 17 seconds left, marking Holland’s third consecutive game with an interception.

Both teams dealt with injuries: Titans right guard Fernando Carmona and running back Tyjae Spears each suffered ankle injuries, while Giants defensive backs Deonte Banks and Tyler Nubin missed the game with calf issues. Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons recorded a sack and a career-high seven tackles in the first half.

The Giants will host the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday, and the Titans travel to Baltimore for their upcoming matchup.
