The New York Giants fell 21-16 to the Detroit Lions to open the 2023 preseason.
The Giants probably should have won the game after Lions’ quarterback Nate Sudfeld made several regrettable (for him) throws. The Giants just couldn’t capitalize on their opportunities.
Instead, they let the Lions hang around, and Detroit was ultimately able to claw their way back for the fourth-quarter victory.
This game was a mixed bag for the Giants, with several great performances, as well as several coaching points and opportunities for improvement.
So what can we take away from preseason Week 1?
