Lessons in Resilience
Despite the team’s struggles, Dart has faced numerous challenges this season. “The season so far has been tough because our record could completely be flipped the other way,” Dart said during a press conference. “But I’ve just come to realize that in the NFL, if you don’t make those crunch-time moment plays and the other team does, you’re going to lose.”
