The Lane Breakdown: 10 takeaways from the Patriots’ preseason loss to the Giants

The New England Patriots played their first game since January, welcoming the New York Giants to Gillette Stadium in both teams’ preseason opener. Although almost no starters played, and they lost, it was great to see the team back out there.

Let’s get to my 10 takeaways from the game.

The backup receivers flashed. Everyone knows that my love for Tre Nixon knows no bounds. After a bad drop in the first half, had a very good second and notched two long catches, both with great adjustments. He wasn’t the only wideout who played well, though.
