Jonathon Cooper Responds to Giants Rookie’s Comments Following Jaxson Dart’s Remarks
Denver, CO – October 15, 2025 — Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper has addressed the recent comments made by a rookie from the New York Giants, responding to criticism following remarks made by quarterback Jaxson Dart. Cooper, who is no stranger to the media spotlight, did not shy away from defending himself and his team, offering a strong rebuttal to the accusations that came after Dart’s post-game statements.
The tension began when Dart, the Giants' rookie quarterback, criticized the Broncos’ defense following a narrow win for Denver, claiming that their defensive front was "easily beatable" and "lacked consistency." These comments quickly gained attention, especially from the Broncos' defense, with Cooper leading the charge in addressing Dart's remarks.
“Look, I respect Jaxson Dart as a player, but those comments? They’re a little out of line,” Cooper said in a press conference. “We’re not here to make excuses, but we’ve got one of the toughest defenses in the league. If you want to talk trash after a win, that’s one thing, but it’s easy to throw shade when you’re sitting on the sidelines. I’ve seen it all before, but I don’t think he knows what it’s like to really face a defense like ours.”
Cooper, known for his leadership and aggressive play on the field, wasn’t afraid to call out Dart’s inexperience, pointing out that the young quarterback had yet to truly face a defense that could challenge his decisions at every turn. “It’s easy to talk when you haven’t been through the fire,” Cooper continued. “I’m sure Dart’s got a bright future, but he still has a lot to learn when it comes to handling pressure.”
The remarks from Cooper come as part of an ongoing rivalry between the two teams, which has intensified after the Broncos’ narrow victory over the Giants. While the Broncos' defense is ranked among the top in the league, the game against the Giants was a hard-fought battle, and Cooper’s fiery response shows how much pride he takes in his team’s defensive prowess.
“It’s all about respect,” Cooper said. “If you’re going to call us out, you better be ready to back it up. We’ve earned our place as one of the most dominant defenses in the NFL, and we’ll continue to prove it every week.”
As the Broncos prepare for their upcoming games, the drama surrounding Cooper’s response to Dart’s comments has added fuel to the rivalry, with both teams eager to prove their strength in the NFC and AFC.
