The New York Giants announced a major change Tuesday, benching veteran quarterback Russell Wilson in favor of rookie and first-round pick Jaxson Dart.

New York made the switch after an 0-3 start that included two games in which the offense produced fewer than 10 points. Fans at MetLife Stadium booed loudly and chanted for Dart's elevation into a starting role on Sunday night, as the Giants lost 22-9 to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Dart enters the lineup at a precarious point in the season and with a daunting schedule ahead of him, which includes matchups against the undefeated Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers, as well as two contests against the unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles — all within the next six weeks.
