The game, which featured intense defensive play from both sides, saw the Jets maintain their unbeaten preseason record while the Giants struggled to find offensive consistency.
The Jets took an early lead with a field goal in the first quarter and extended it to 10-0 in the second quarter with a well-executed touchdown drive. Their defense was particularly effective, repeatedly thwarting the Giants’ attempts to move the ball, including a crucial stop late in the game that sealed the victory. The Jets’ pass rush was a key factor, sacking Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito multiple times and keeping constant pressure on the Giants’ offense.
