EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. | New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning might have had an off night.
Still, the Jaguars starting defense had to gladly accept it.
A week after struggling in the only series Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger played, the Jaguars defense held up much better against another Super-Bowl-winning quarterback.
Manning completed 4 of 14 passes for 46 yards and led the Giants to one field goal in his three drives Saturday night at MetLife Stadium. The 12-year veteran exited midway through the second quarter.
In the preseason opener, the Jaguars starting defense put up little resistance.
