Hurts is in his sixth year in the NFL, and he led the Eagles to a Super Bowl in Year 5. The former Alabama Crimson Tide and Oklahoma Sooners product is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the league and a two-time Pro Bowler.

Jaxson Dart is in Year 1 of his professional football career. The Giants selected him in the first round of this year's draft and entrusted him with the starting job ahead of their Week 4 game versus the Los Angeles Chargers.

The loss exposed the cracks in the Eagles' offense, and the defending Super Bowl champs will look to get back to winning ways in Week 6. In their way is a Giants side looking to make the most of home advantage.

Jaxson Dart and Co. suffered a loss in Week 5 to the previously winless New Orleans Saints. It was a forgettable performance from the rookie shot caller as he threw for 202 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in his second start.

Dart and his teammates have their work cut out in Week 6 as they host the Philadelphia Eagles. Brian Daboll's side must find a way to limit Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and Co. in this quick turnaround game at MetLife Stadium.
