The New York Giants took on the New York Jets in the final preseason game as the regular season creeps closer.
In a game where the starters on both sides didn’t see much of the field, if at all, the two teams who call MetLife Stadium home exchanged scores back and forth.
The Giants injury troubles continued as backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor went down with an apparent back injury in the first quarter and did not return.
The Giants took the lead late in the game to go up by three with just minutes to go. Unfortunately the Jets answered with a touchdown with 22 seconds remaining to go up 31-27; a lead that held up as time expired.
Let’s see how twitter reacted:
Final tally per NextGen stats: Kenny Golladay logged 14 offensive snaps Sunday vs. Jets. Was on the field into early second quarter. One target, zero catches.
Overall for preseason: 51 snaps, 1 rec. for 6 yards on four targets.

Dime ball from Davis Webb to Austin Allen for TD. I’m really hoping Allen makes the #Giants roster – easy to see developmental upside there.
Webb is insanely comfortable running this Daboll system. Gives me hope Daniel Jones will have an upward trajectory as he gets comfortable— Dan Schneier (@DanSchneierNFL) August 28, 2022
One thing I haven’t loved from the #Giants defense this preseason is the tackling as a whole.
Not ready to say it’s an issue yet — I don’t make much if preseason personally, but I felt like the Judge/Graham era defense did a strong job overall limiting yards after contact.— Dan Schneier (@DanSchneierNFL) August 28, 2022
#Giants in man coverage and Khalil Dorsey gets beat for the fourth-down TD. #Jets take a 31-27 lead.

That’s one of the most entertaining pre season games I’ve ever seen honestly lol #Jets #Giants

#Giants finish the preseason 2-1. Two weeks from today is Week 1 of the real thing.

Davis Webb this preseason: 60-of-81 passing (74%) for 458 yards with 3 TDs, 0 INTs.
Strong. Quite strong.
