Behind a quiet yet effective evening from Zach Wilson, and a dominant defensive performance, the New York Jets began the 2021 preseason on the right note, topping the New York Giants by a 12-7 final on Saturday night at MetLife Stadium.
Ensnared in a defensive struggle, the Jets (1-0) held the Giants to 163 yards of offense and earned four sacks.
The Jets’ offseason obsession with finding a pass rush was vindicated immediately, forcing the Giants into a three-and-out with a relentless attack on Mike Glennon and the Giants’ starting unit.
Bryce Huff had the finishing touch with a seven-yard sack.
