Along the defensive line, Jonathan Marshall has made quite a bit of noise during the preseason with a sack and two tackles for a loss. The veteran Parks has also had a strong preseason as well. But the team will still have players there besides him and C.J. Will Marshall make one last statement and give the coaches a difficult decision on cutdown day? Their final preseason game kicks off at 1:00 eastern against the New York Giants. Sunday is an important day for the New York Jets, as it marks the end of the preseason.

The New York Giants wrapped up their preseason today after a 31-27 loss to the New York Jets. The preseason "MetLife Bowl" saw the two teams go down to the.

Both teams could afford to improve their depth ahead of the start of the season. Golladay was one of the few offensive starters to take the field today and turned in a less-than-impressive effort. The Giants’ other backup quarterback, second-stringer Tyrod Taylor, left the game early due to a back injury. Regardless, the outstanding performance of Denzel Mims highlighted the lack of depth possessed by the Giants within their secondary. Considering the lack of depth that the Giants have in their wide receiver corps, maybe a potential trade between New York’s two squads could occur. The preseason “MetLife Bowl” saw the two teams go down to the wire with the Jets narrowly gaining the victory.

Joe Flacco threw a pick-6 and the New York Jets' starting offense mostly struggled while playing into the second quarter against mainly Giants defensive ...

“I just went out there today and played football and took advantage of my opportunities,” said Mims, speaking publicly for the first time since his trade request. Ryan Santoso kicked a 49-yarder to put the Giants ahead 27-24 with 2:02 left. The 37-year-old Flacco had a strong training camp, especially since replacing Wilson as the QB1 after the second-year quarterback suffered a bone bruise and torn meniscus in the preseason opener at Philadelphia. The Jets’ first series ended on a fumble by running back Michael Carter. White threw a 19-yard strike to Jeff Smith to make it 17-10 with 26 seconds left before halftime. He just landed hard and I talked to him at halftime.” “He’s been doing great. Taylor took a big hit from Jets rookie Micheal Clemons after completing a 25-yard pass to rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger.

15th-Year Vet Directs FG Drive but Throws INT Returned for TD; Mike White Has 2 TD Strikes in 2nd Quarter.

On the drive, White completed all four of his passes for 54 yards and with the TD pass he had a "perfect" 158.3 passer rating for the game at that point. For the game, White completed 13 of 17 for 170 yards and the two TD passes, with no sacks or INTs, for a 146.7 rating,. I just tried to get it up over his head and I kind of yanked it right to the guy's chest. His first play was a pass on the slant to Mims, who caught it for 13 yards. His second play was another laser, to TE Lawrence Cager for 19 yards to move the Jets into Zuerlein's range. "I was trying to hold on as long as I could and I feel like Michael was kind of breaking up the field as I was heading toward the out-of-bounds line. "Initially you want to go out there, go through pregame, and get the feeling you're getting ready for a game and all those kinds of things," Flacco said of his 21 offensive snaps over those four series. That play ended his day of activity with 12:18 left in the first half. He thought Carter was that receiver out of the backfield but the QB didn't see LB Austin Calitro lying in wait. And the third possession, starting in plus-territory after CB Michael Carter II intercepted Giants QB Tyrod Taylor, picked up another first-play first down on rookie Breece Hall's 11-yard run before stalling and bringing on K Greg Zuerlein, who drilled a 49-yard field goal attempt down the middle to give the Jets a 3-0 lead with 2:39 left in the first quarter. Baltimore at MetLife Stadium, it seemed a natural opportunity for head coach Robert Saleh to get Flacco — plus all his first-teamers on offense and defense — quality playing time into the second quarter in their annual summer soiree against the Giants. Flacco wasn't in uniform for the Jets' season opener at Philadelphia, then suited up and warmed up but did not play on Monday night against Atlanta.

If Sunday's preseason finale was a “dress rehearsal” for the Jets offense, they may want to delay opening night.

Carter had a fumble that ended the Jets’ first drive of the game. The Jets defense had a better showing. On his final play of the day, he faced pressure from Giants linebacker Oshane Ximines and rolled to his right. Flacco faced some pressure and there was very little push in the run game. The first-team offense got their first work together in the preseason and it was not pretty. Joe Flacco, who is expected to start Week 1 against the Ravens, threw a brutal interception that was returned for a touchdown by Giants linebacker Austin Calitro.

Joe Flacco could be starting for the New York Jets in Week 1 and he showed in the preseason finale that's a setup for more misery.

At the same time, though, Flacco has been a shell of who he was in his prime with the Ravens, which was never in the top tier of NFL quarterbacks. Early in the second quarter of the game, Flacco got under pressure a bit and broke out of the pocket. But if there was any silver lining that you could spin, it would be that veteran and noted “Elite” quarterback Joe Flacco is on the roster to step in and take over for as long as the second-year signal-caller is out.

In 7 drives by Streveler this preseason 6 ended in a Jets touchdown and one ran out the clock. Streveler capped off a legendary run this preseason by leading the Jets on two long touchdown drives, including the game winner on 4th and goal with less than 30 seconds on the clock. The 3rd quarter was a different story, as the Mike White led Jets offense bogged down and got shut out.

Defensive lineman Jalyn Holmes, who got the start on defense for the Giants, suffered a concussion in the second quarter and did not return. The following Giants didn't play due to injuries: offensive linemen Ben Bredeson, Shane Lemieux, Josh Ezeudu, and Garrett McGhin; receivers Sterling Shepard (Achilles-precautionary) and C.J. As expected, for two reasons, Giants head coach Brian Daboll held out most of the healthy starters in this game. But more importantly, given how injuries have continued to wreck this team, Daboll is trying to be smart in managing game reps for the players. This week, backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who got the start for Daniel Jones, was crushed by Jets defensive lineman Michael Clemons, Safety Nate Meadors finished as the Giants defensive leader in tackles with 12 (eight solos). The first came on a short 21-yard pass to receiver Braxton Berrios, who beat Giants rookie cornerback Cor'Dale Flott. It's unclear if the quarterbacks aren't purposely looking away from him so as to keep bigger plans underwrap, or if he's not getting open, but Golladay has had a quiet preseason production wise. Fellow rookie tight end Austin Allen finished as the team receiving leader, catching all four of his pass targets for 40 yards. Their first drive went ten plays for 51 yards before ending in a fumble by running back Michael Carter that was recovered by Giants inside linebacker Austin Calitro. The second score came on a 19-yard pass to receiver Jeff Smith.

Austin Calitro had the first turnover of the preseason for the Giants when he intercepted a pass in the fourth quarter of the opener against the Patriots. And you saw the result, it ended up being a pick six," Calitro said about his defensive touchdown. "He should be okay," the head coach said about Taylor after the game. McFadden recorded four tackles (three solo) and a tackle for loss against the Jets. Then towards the start of the second quarter, Calitro intercepted a Joe Flacco pass and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown, giving the Giants an early 10-3 lead. It's also a tough time for coaches, for equipment staff, for trainers, for video, for cafeteria workers that have built relationships with players that have been here since April or whatever it may be," Daboll said to the media following the preseason finale. McFadden's 90.3 overall grade was the highest on the defense, and also ranked in the Top 10 among the league's rookies through the first two games. The last few years he's gotten better and better," said the head coach. I think that's a credit to the offensive line and the coaches. The veteran led game-winning drives at the end of each of the first two games, and also led the Giants to a field goal to give them a 27-24 lead with two minutes left in today's game. Daboll indicated to the media Friday that he would consider carrying three quarterbacks on the roster heading into the season. "I think we all did a pretty good job in the preseason, all the quarterbacks," Webb said after the game.

Some positives on offense but plenty to clean up: Not too many teams will have as solid of a 1-2 punch at running back like the Jets will have with Michael Carter and Breece Hall. All in all, a so-so day for the first-team offense. DB Michael Carter II: A sack and an interception in the first quarter will give any defensive players confidence going forward. But Streveler should at least be on the practice squad, especially after some of his heroics against the Falcons and the Giants. Let’s take a quick look back at the game with some notes and numbers as the Jets beat the Giants, 31-27, to finish the preseason 3-0.
