The New York Giants overpowered the New England Patriots 42-10 in their preseason finale at MetLife Stadium, completing a 3-0 exhibition slate for the franchise’s first perfect preseason since 2019. With veteran starter Russell Wilson held out, first-round pick Jaxson Dart directed an 11-yard touchdown pass to tight end Greg Dulcich on the opening drive and finished 6-of-12 for 81 yards before leaving late in the first quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. He was cleared but, by design, did not return. Jameis Winston entered on the next snap and found Jalin Hyatt for a 27-yard score, and fourth-stringer Tommy DeVito closed the night 17-of-20 for 198 yards and three touchdowns. Rookie running back Cam Skattebo saw his first action after a hamstring setback, while first-round linebacker Abdul Carter and defensive back TJ Moore—who returned an interception 44 yards for a touchdown—highlighted a reserve-heavy defense that outscored opponents 107-47 over three games. New England rested most starters, including quarterback Drake Maye. Undrafted rookie Ben Woolridge played the full game, completing 10-of-20 passes for 82 yards. Head coach Mike Vrabel said the approach was designed to “evaluate other players” as the club finalises its 53-man roster. The Giants travel to Washington to open the regular season on Sept. 7, while the Patriots host Las Vegas the same day. Coach Brian Daboll praised Dart’s progress but said the rookie “needs to slide” on scrambles after the near injury.
