Access the Giants like never before Get texts from Paul Schwartz with all the latest Giants news and insights, exclusive to Sports+ subscribers. tRY IT NOW BUFFALO – Jaxson Dart dropped his first NFL touchdown pass right into the bucket. The Giants' rookie first-round pick, making his preseason debut Saturday, put perfect leading touch on a 29-yard strike down the left sideline to Lil'Jordan Humphrey, who fought through tight one-on-one coverage for the score against the Bills. Perhaps the most impressive part of the touchdown, however, was that Dart hung in there to deliver the throw even as T.J. Sanders bared down with an up-the-middle pressure and drilled him just after he let the ball. Dart popped to his feet and excitedly slapped his offensive linemen to let the celebration begin. The touchdown capped a seven-play 80-yard drive in the second quarter that saw Dart complete three of his four passes, including catch-and-runs by Dante Miller (18 yards) and Montrell Washington (28 yards).

Dart also ran twice — once by design and once when he held the ball too long, pump-faked and pulled it down for a one-yard scramble. It was Dart's second series, after the Giants gained one first down and punted in his first taste of action against the Bills' starting defense. Dart, who came in ahead of Jameis Winston off the bench to replace starter Russell Wilson, found a rhythm against Buffalo's backups.

Local construction company advises homeowners as material prices increase
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — The owner of a local construction company is advising homeowners with improvement projects to do their research as new tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico could increase the price of lumber, steel and other materials. Kevin Morris, the owner of Star Construction Sheds, has noticed a slight increase in prices for materials, but he said it's been minimal. Local businesses brace for Trump's imposed tariffs to tap out local breweries, milk dairy industry 'Right now, we'll know more probably in a month if things are going to increase, but still not to the level where I think someone needs to worry about doing a project right now,' Morris said. 'I know for us, we've raised prices a little, but we're still not near pandemic levels like we were before.' Morris said if homeowners don't want to risk potential price hikes, they should book projects now. 'I would get signed with your contractor sooner than later. Like us, we're buying stock. We have a stock on lumber, anybody coming in, our prices are held for them,' he said. 'If you do wait and it does go up, you could be paying a little more.' If people are looking to make improvements to their homes, Morris said the prices shouldn't deter them. He said it's more important that people do their research before signing a contractor to ensure they don't raise construction costs unnecessarily. 'Do your homework. Find a really good reputable contractor that's been around a while — someone that's been in the business a long time, they know the pricing,' he said.

'Let the contractor, or whoever you're working with, explore other options, because there are,' he said. 'There's other options for us to get lumber and material.'
