It wasn’t the prettiest of action, but seeing Daniel Jones on the field again under center was a move in the right direction after the quarterback tore his ACL last season. While Jones was able to make his return, he was intercepted on back-to-back drives in the first quarter.
His two interceptions were just the start of five turnovers committed by the Giants in Week 2.
After most of the Texans’ starters went to the sidelines in the second quarter, Jones was able to navigate around the field, orchestrating a seven-play, 68-yard drive to tie the game at 7-7. However, the lead would not last, as the Texans would score 21 more points.
There’s still plenty of room for improvement for the Giants, and the fact that their QB1 wasn’t effective until after the Texans’ starters were pulled is a bit concerning.
The clock on New York’s rebuild got pushed up massively due to the team’s success in 2022. The struggles in 2023 need to have fans realize this Giants team is still quite a few years off from being a playoff contender.
Meanwhile, the Jets have pulled off two preseason victories, but the quality of their opponents has not been the best.
Taking down the Commanders in Week 1 wasn’t too shabby, but defeating the Panthers in Week 2 with only field goals is a bit of a concern.
Rookie QB Andrew Peasley struggled immensely, completing seven of his 11 attempts for just 33 yards.
2024 UFL MVP and Championship Game MVP QB Adrian Martinez didn’t fare much better, completing seven of his 17 pass attempts and tossing an interception.
While Tyrod Taylor has the backup slot locked down, neither Peasley nor Martinez is doing themselves any favors to stay on the roster.
If it weren’t for kicker Austin Seibert connecting on all four field goals, the Jets would’ve lost.
The struggles from New York’s QB3 and QB4 may not be all that surprising, but the fact that the rushing attack and receiving core have not made up for their struggles is a bit more concerning. Someone must fill in behind WRs Garrett Wilson, Mike Williams, and RB Breece Hall.
