New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart had an interesting moment during their Thursday night showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. In a clip shared by NFL insider Ari Meirov, we see the quarterback making a run with the ball during a play on the field.

Eagles linebacker Jihaad Campbell tried to block Jaxson Dart's route. However, the rookie quarterback left everyone in a state of shock after he tried to push his way past Campbell by trying to headbutt him. Dart fell to the ground on the sidelines after this play.

How tf is this not a penalty? Leading with the crown of your helmet?

@MySportsUpdate Bro wants CTE early

This isn’t fair to a defender. He can nothing here. It’s fine if Dart wants to keep running forward but to launch himself into a defender when he looks like a defenseless runner going out of bounds should be a penalty.

Dart took over as the starting quarterback in Week 4 after Brian Daboll's team started the season with a three-game losing streak under veteran Russell Wilson. So far, the rookie has a 1-1 record, winning against the Chargers before losing last week to the New Orleans Saints.

In the two games as the QB1, he has recorded 313 yards and three touchdowns passing, along with one rushing touchdown.
