Jaxson Dart’s ball flip at Greg Newsome gives Giants’ John Harbaugh teachable moment
Coach John Harbaugh assessed a 15-yard taunting penalty and backed up the extra-point attempt after Dart's celebration drew a confrontation.
- On Tuesday, New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart drew a 15-yard taunting penalty after throwing the ball at cornerback Greg Newsome's helmet following a three-yard touchdown run during training camp at The Greenbrier.
- Tensions flared during a red zone drill as the Giants' offense, previously struggling early in camp, faced defensive frustration over Dart's aggressive celebration following his scoring run.
- John Harbaugh penalized the offense by backing up the extra point attempt, stating "I think it's a 15-yard penalty for taunting, so we backed up the extra point and had them do it again." Kicker Ben Sauls made the 48-yard attempt after the penalty.
- Tight end Isaiah Likely defended the exchange as "just them competing," describing both players' "dog" mentality as a positive trait when red zone points are at stake during training camp.
- Establishing a winning culture remains Harbaugh's priority as he aims to curb the high volume of penalties that plagued the Giants last season, even if it requires publicly addressing leaders like Dart.
