Metlife hosted its first preseason game last night where the Giants seemed to falter despite their home-field advantage. The 20-10 victory by the Browns was in large part from rookie QB Baker Mayfield who (unsurprisingly) was a star on the field after being subbed in during the first quarter. A second New York team has a chance to defend their home turf tonight, also at Metlife Stadium.
The Jets are 10 training practices into the preseason and it’s already apparent that many storylines will take place at tonight’s game. The most notable of these is the fight for the roster quarterback position between the current 3 players. Each offers something radically different from the team- a safe harbor in John McCown, a possible wildcard in Teddy Bridgewater, or a shining rookie in Sam Darnold. Running back rookie Trenton Cannon is also a possibility for the Jet’s offense as they are seemingly attempting to bolster up the depth-chart with younger players. Finally, many fans are anxious to see what Mike Maccagnan meant when he said that the team wanted to upgrade their passing rush. It is extremely possible that unless the current lineup begins to shine, trades could be in the future.
You can tune into the game on the official New York Jets App or by visiting newyorkjets.com/preseason.
