The New York Giants got a convincing win against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, and many people are excited to see if they can keep this momentum going into the remainder of the season. They'll have another big test in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams, who are expected to be one of the top teams in the league this season.

The good news for the Giants is that they don't have to face Myles Garrett, who was placed on injured reserve after their Week 1 loss. The bad news is that they may have to go up against Aaron Donald, who didn't play last week but has a chance of making his season debut. Though he hasn't played in two seasons, Donald is still someone who you have to take into account at all times.

Jaxson Dart knows that, and he was asked about Darnold's impact during media availability.

“For the longest time that I can remember, he's one of the most dominant players that I've watched. … I've heard that he's kept himself in really good shape,” Dart said via Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic.

If Donald is anything like the player he was before he retired, the Giants will be faced with a tall task on Monday Night Football. At the same time, with the way that the Giants played against the Cowboys, they should be able to neutralize him when they're on offense.

Dart was in command of that side of the field all night, making plays with his arms and also with his legs. The Rams' defense is better than the Cowboys' unit even without Garrett, so this will definitely be a different test for the Giants this season.

It'll be interesting to see if Darnold suits up and if the Giants can keep things rolling.
