The Jaxson Dart era in New York got off to a winning start, as the Giants upset the previously unbeaten Los Angeles Chargers 21-18 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Dart was efficient, but somewhat limited by a left hamstring injury he suffered in the first half. Dart got his NFL starting QB career off to a good start with a 15-yard touchdown run on his first drive. The Giants went up-tempo in the Ole Miss product’s first game.  

Dart was efficient in the first half in leading the Giants to a 13-10 halftime lead (7 of 11 for 59 yards; six carries for 44 yards and a TD), but the rookie began grabbing his left hamstring to stretch it out late in the first half and was noticeably limping on the last drive before halftime as the Chargers have turned up the pressure.

Rookie Cam Skattebo ran for 79 yards on 25 carries as the Giants rushed for 161 yards on the afternoon.

For Los Angeles, Justin Herbert threw two crucial interceptions that put the Giants in good field position. He finished 23 of 41 for 203 yards passing. Dart only threw for 111, but added 54 yards on the ground with a passing and rushing touchdown.

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football, 22-9. Though both teams entered the contest in search of their first win, New York’s up-and-comers were no match for Kansas City’s veteran leadership during the primetime matchup.

Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 22 of his 37 pass attempts for 224 yards and a touchdown against the Giants’ secondary.

The Giants’ fanbase was clearly frustrated during their home opener, as Russell Wilson threw two interceptions and was held to just 160 passing yards. 

Standout linebacker Nick Bolton was among Kansas City’s top defensive performers, with 14 combined tackles in the game.

Kraft Heinz has introduced Not Hot Dogs and Not Sausages, marking the first plant-based offerings from Oscar Mayer. These new products aim to cater to the growing demand for flavorful plant-based foods in the United States.

The plant-based market in the United States is predicted to surge from $8.3 billion in 2023 to $19 billion by 2030. Despite this growth, plant-based hot dogs and sausages remain relatively untapped due to dissatisfaction with existing options’ taste and texture. In response, Kraft Heinz has launched new Oscar Mayer Not Hot Dogs and Not Sausages, available in Bratwurst and Italian sausage flavors, to fill this gap in the market.

The introduction of Oscar Mayer Not Hot Dogs and Not Sausages represents the Kraft Heinz’s dedication to swiftly bringing innovative plant-based products to market. This launch adds to their expanding plant-based portfolio, which includes Kraft Not Mac&Cheese, Kraft Not Cheese Slices, and Not Mayo. Looking ahead, The Kraft Heinz Not Company plans to enter additional categories and expand internationally.
