The New York Jets head into this game with a preseason record of 2-0. They were able to win their first game against the Philadelphia Eagles by a final score of 24-21. Heading into this game, head coach Robert Saleh has come out and said that the starters will only be playing a quarter and a half as he wants his player to be ready for the season but wants to limit any injuries from happening. In the Jets last game against the Falcons, they were able to score three touchdowns that helped them come back from a 16-point deficit. Quarterback Chris Streveler led the team in passing yards, having thrown for 119 yards and one touchdown while having a quarterback rating of 100.2. The Jets also had a lot of help from their defense as they were able to score a defensive touchdown. The Falcons fumbled the ball on their own 30-yard line and Jets defensive end Bradlee Anae recovered it and scored a touchdown. In this game, the Jets need to do a better job of scoring points early and avoid falling behind by multiple scores. 

The New York Giants, like the Jets, head into this game with a preseason record of 2-0. They won their first game against the New England Patriots by a final score of 23-21. In this game, it is unknown if the Giants will be playing their starters, but it is likely that head coach Brian Daboll will follow what Saleh is doing and only have his players play for a quarter and a half. In the Giants last game against the Bengals, they were able to score three touchdowns. Quarterback Davis Webb had a great performance for the Giants as he was able to throw for 204 yards and two touchdowns and had a quarterback rating of 122.8. The Giants also had 423 total yards of offense compared to the Bengals 271 yards. The Giants were also able to force the Bengals to commit one turnover but they themselves had two turnovers. In this game against the Jets, they need to do a better job of controlling the ball if they want to end their preseason campaign undefeated.

For the Jets, they need to jump out to a hot start and avoid falling behind to a Giants team that knows how to move the ball on the offense. For the Giants, they need to continue to rack up a lot of offensive yards while controlling the ball. Both of these teams have played in games where the lowest final score was 40 points.
