Giants vs. Jets: Snaps and stats from the first preseason game

The first game of the New York Giants 2021 season is in the books.

Unfortunately it’s going into the books as a disappointing loss the New York Jets, but this is preseason and while winning is nice, it isn’t the goal of most teams. It’s important to remember that the Peyton Manning Colts rarely won in the preseason, while the 0-16 Lions finished 4-0 in the preseason. For most teams, the preseason is about evaluating the roster, testing the team in real game situations, working on the fundamentals of their scheme, and getting the players used to playing against players who aren’t their teammates.
