Trivia time! What happens when you add two crosstown rivals, a meaningless football game, a stadium sponsored by MetLife and a giant trophy together?
You guessed it: the Snoopy Bowl.
On Saturday evening, the New York Jets and Giants will meet in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for their annual preseason matchup. The score doesn’t matter, there’s no Rex Ryan to add irrelevant hype, and the lead-up has been headline-free. For the first time in recent memory, the Jets' matchup with the Giants is more about football than anything else.
With this being the third preseason game for both teams, Saturday should represent the closest thing to an NFL Sunday until the regular season begins in just a few weeks.
