New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart had wings for a moment as he was lifted in the air from a vicious sideline hit from New England Patriots linebacker Christian Elliss.
Dart pulled the ball down and attempted to run with it along the sideline in the Monday night game. He was still in bounds when Elliss came speeding towards him and made contact. The impact from the hit flung Dart out of bounds and set off a shoving match on the sideline.

Tempers were flaring on the football field during the game. The Giants might have a 2-10 record, but they have proven to be a feisty group against more talented teams this season.
Seeing Dart take a massive hit obviously woke the team up in a tough road matchup against the Patriots.
