Despite the loss, it feels like there is always some notable progression in each game Dart plays.
In week nine, he completed 72.7 percent of his pass attempts. That is a new career-high, and also blows most of his other games out of the water.
In his two other games with at least 30 pass attempts, he completed 65 and 45.5 percent of his throws.
Next week, New York will hit the road to face the Chicago Bears on Sunday, November 9.
