Giants' Brian Daboll went viral for making '6 7' reference. No, he didn't learn it from Jaxson Dart
NEW YORK (AP) — Brian Daboll went viral on social media this weekend for referencing a meme that originated on TikTok in his news conference after the New York Giants beat Buffalo in each team's preseason opener. The Giants' fourth-year coach was talking after the game Saturday about rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart being hard on himself by calling his performance 'mid.' "You got to ask him about what 'mid' means," Daboll said, before casually dropping in '6 7" at the end of his answer. The lyric from the Skrilla song 'Doot Doot (6 7)' has become a popular phrase for younger generations. Asked Sunday on a video call with reporters if he learned it from Dart or his kids, Daboll smiled and said, 'My kids.' Dart, who just turned 22, showed promise in his NFL exhibition debut, completing 12 of 19 passes for 154 yards and a touchdown. The organization hopes Dart is New York's QB of the future after trading back into the first round of the draft and selecting him with the 25th pick. 'He's someone that I enjoy coaching and have a very good relationship with and see a lot of positive signs,' Daboll said of Dart. 'I said: 'I'm proud of you tonight. You did some good things.'" ___ AP NFL: The Associated Press

NY Giants Rookie Jaxson Dart Reflects on First NFL Game
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. One game into the 2025 NFL Preseason, Jaxson Dart looks comfortable in a New York Giants jersey. That doesn't come as a surprise, considering Dart's mentality leading up to the matchup. "Football is football," Dart told reporters just days before his first preseason battle. "Obviously, you're taking the next step, so it's a little bit more advanced and just little details and whatnot, schematics. At the end of the day, it's the same game you're playing when you were a kid. So, you just enjoy that, compete, don't leave any regrets out there on the field, and don't ever take this moment lightly, and there's no light that's too bright to play in." Dart's actions matched his words on Saturday. The former Ole Miss star looked more than ready for the moment, as he delivered a 12-19, 154-yard performance. The rookie made a highlight throw in the second quarter to put the first touchdown on the board for the Giants. JAXSON DART FIRST TD PASS IN THE NFL. Lil'Jordan Humphrey on the other end! Watch on @NFLNetwork Stream on @NFLPlus — NFL (@NFL) August 9, 2025 "Me and [LJ Humphrey] have been connecting a lot during camp and whatnot," Dart said after the game. "He's been a great contested catcher on go balls. I liked my matchup one-on-one, and he was able to win over the top and made a great play." After getting his first real taste of NFL action, Dart's confidence remains high.

More Bryan M. Bennett/Getty Images "I felt good. I felt good about it. It was kind of my first time doing a silent cadence in a road game atmosphere," Dart said. "We did have a few pre-snap penalties that we got to grow on and continue to improve on those things, but I was happy overall about it. I was really happy with how our O-line played. I don't think we had a sack all game if I'm right. They played amazing, and I was happy with our operation." Dart followed Russell Wilson, who got the start on Saturday. Wilson threw for six completions off seven passes for 28 yards. He helped the Giants notch a field goal early on. It's unclear if Saturday's rotation was an indication that Dart is beginning to lock up the second spot on the quarterback depth chart, but for now, Dart is gaining reps over the veteran Jameis Winston. When Winston checked in, he completed seven of his 11 passes for 62 yards. Winston also threw for a score. The Giants ended with Tommy DeVito under center. The veteran completed 10 of his 14 passes, generating 73 yards and one touchdown. The Giants defeated the Bills 34-25. They'll get back to work next week to begin preparing for the New York Jets. That matchup will be go down on Saturday, August 16. The status of Wilson is unknown at this time. For more New York Giants and NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
