Broncos starter sends disrespectful message about Giants QB Jaxson Dart ahead of New York's matchup with Denver
The Denver Broncos aren't worried about Jaxson Dart
A significant reason for the Broncos' rapid turnaround has been their defensive dominance since last season. Already in 2025, they're second in total yards allowed with 254.2 yards per game. Additionally, they're one of the NFL's most efficient defenses, ranking third in EPA/pass and fourth in EPA/rush allowed.Their most impressive stat is the 30 sacks they've tallied this year, which leads the NFL. The next closest team is the Pittsburgh Steelers with 20.To say this game against the Broncos in Denver is a massive challenge for a young team is an understatement. However, the Giants may have added motivation from the way Cooper is speaking about New York's young quarterback phenom. When asked if he feels it's a double-edged sword facing a rookie QB because there's less tape on them, he completely belittled Dart."I would say no, not to that standpoint, just because once you played enough in this league and you've seen enough good quarterbacks," Cooper said to reporters. "We play one of the best quarterbacks twice a year, every single year. So once you go against that, you kind of get a feel of the game and you know what you need to do."
Cooper also alluded to how they plan to rattle Dart by frequently pressuring him.
"You got to make them feel uncomfortable in the pocket," stated Cooper. "Can't let them get that confidence and that ego going. Just got to take care of that."The Giants have plenty of motivation going into this game, considering the implications for the squad if they win. Ironically, last year, the Broncos' turnaround was sparked by a road victory over a stellar Tampa Bay Buccaneers team in Week 3. This week's game could potentially be the same.
