New York Jets vs. New York Giants Analysis
Countdown to Monday Night: Rodgers Set to Ignite Jets’ Season
This is the fourth preseason game for the Jets, and Aaron Rodgers has yet to play this season. The Jets have used Zach Wilson for a good chunk of the preseason, with Tim Boyle backing him up. Rodgers will likely not play in this game either but will get the start when they take on the Bills on Monday Night Football for Week 1 of the New York Jets schedule.
Looking at the past NFL team stats, the Jets, a season ago, needed all sorts of help at quarterback. Wilson was one of seven guys that threw a pass for the team. Wilson finished with just shy of 1,700 passing yards, with six touchdowns and seven interceptions. The Jets passing threw 15 touchdowns and 14 interceptions on the season.
Breece Hall played just seven games a season ago but is expected to return for the Jets in a big way this season.
Saquon’s Return: Energizing the Giants’ 2023 Campaign
Daniel Jones and the New York Giants reached the postseason a season ago and will have their work cut out for them to get back in 2023 with competitiveness in the NFC East.
The Giants are going to welcome their top running back, Saquon Barkley, back to the lineup. There was a question on whether he would return on his current contract, but it was extended during camp.
Looking at the NFL player stats, Barkley, the former Penn State star, wrapped up 2022 with 1,312 rushing yards and ten touchdowns. His 2023 NFL MVP Odds are slim.
Matt Breida finished second with 220 yards, while Gary Brightwell was really the only other running back to get into the end zone. The extension for Barkley was the biggest New York Giants news in the off-season. The New York Giants will play Sunday Night Football in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys.
