Jaxson Dart & Cam Skattebo did something no Giants rookies have done in decades

The New York Giants are a franchise rich in history. Forget what recent memory suggests, this is a proud organization that has its footprints all over the league — 101 years will do it.

Even still, after 10-plus decades of football, the G-Men are still adding to the record books. In Sunday's 21-18 Week 4 stunner over the Los Angeles Chargers, two rookies etched their names in Giants' lore with electric performances.

After rushing for 79 yards and 54 yards respectively, running back Cam Skattebo and quarterback Jaxson Dart were the first pair of NY rookies to run over 50-plus yards in the same game since 1980, when Larry Heater and Leon Perry did so against the Dallas Cowboys (per NFL researcher Dante Koplowitz-Fleming).
