EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Ryan Nassib’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Tavarres King with 2:31 to play gave the Giants a 21-20 victory in their annual preseason showdown against the Jets on Saturday night.
Nassib threw two touchdowns to King in the game — the other coming on a 27-yard pass in the third quarter — but the Giants backup QB otherwise struggled, completing 6 of 19 passes for 69 yards.
Both teams’ first-string offenses did very little in the last regular-season tuneup for most starters, but Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick did connect with Eric Decker for a 22-yard score three plays after Darrelle Revis intercepted Eli Manning in Giants territory in the second quarter.
