NFL hits Giants and head coach Brian Daboll with six-figure fines over Jaxson Dart tent controversy
The New York Giants and Brian Daboll have been fined by the NFL for violations of league concussion protocol following the head coach’s decision to enter the sideline medical tent as quarterback Jaxson Dart was being evaluated for a head injury in Week 9.
The NFL and its Players Association dropped a $315,000 hammer on the Giants, Brian Daboll and Cam Skattebo for “conduct detrimental to the league.” The Giants were fined $200,000, Daboll was fined $100,
The next 10 games have to be Brian Daboll’s final audition for whether or not he is the right head coach to maximize the Jaxson Dart Era. Dart has only started four NFL games, but it certainly looks like the Giants have found the quarterback they can build around for the foreseeable future.
Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen, meanwhile, is under the hottest spotlight after the Giants surrendered all 33 Denver points in that fourth quarter, Daboll screamed at Bowen on the sideline and edge rusher Brian Burns vented about a late defensive mistake.
