Russell Wilson stats: How Giants QB's vintage performance vs. Cowboys pauses calls for Jaxson Dart

After a disappointing Week 1, Russell Wilson turned back the clock for the New York Giants against the Dallas Cowboys.

Wilson produced a huge game as the Giants' offense exploded for 450 yards in their overtime loss against the Cowboys 40-37. That included several typical Wilson deep balls, connecting with multiple receivers down the field.

The performance should allow Wilson to keep his starting job moving forward, as rookie first-rounder Jaxson Dart awaits his turn. Dart made his NFL debut with a few plays on Sunday in a special package, but Wilson remains at the top of the depth chart.

Here's a look at how Wilson performed on Sunday.
