I guess that’s what happens when you have backup quarterbacks and backup offensive linemen playing for the majority of a preseason game.
There were just three scoring drives in this meeting — two of them thanks to a Jets offensive unit manned by a new coordinator in Mike LaFleur.
Zach Wilson’s first drive of his NFL career (both preseason and regular season) included a mix of both run and pass plays, which seemingly overwhelmed a Giants defense that fielded mostly backups. That possession concluded with a 30-yard field goal from Jets placekicker Chris Naggar.
The next scoring drive came in the third quarter with backup quarterback Mike White leading the way — it encompassed multiple receptions from Denzel Mims and culminated with a four-yard touchdown run from La’Mical Perine.
