Sanchez played into the 3rd quarter and went 13 of 20 for 149 yards and 1 TD. His scrambling pass on the run to Stuckey for a 31 yard TD was his best play of the game. He looked less like a rookie on that play by following Stuckey come across the field to the right sideline. The Jets took the lead 14-13 and kept the lead for the rest of the game. This Giants helped the Jets with two turnovers. Bart Scott lost his hat and stripped the ball right out of Jacob's hands for one of the turnovers.
The Jets were going backwards in the first quarter by giving the Giants the ball on their 40 yard line by kicking off out of bounds and committing 7 penalties. It could have been 14-nothing if Smith didn't drop a bomb from Manning. It could have gone for a 90 yard TD completion. Lito Sheppard got burned and had tough game for the Jets at corner. If he plays like that it will be a short season for Sheppard.
Manning went 9 of 21 for 91 yards, but had numerous drops by his receivers. Jacobs scored on an 8 yard pass from Manning, burning Scott.
Leon Washington ran well for the Jets in the second half. Cotchery made some nice catches as well.
Both teams are 1 and 2 in the preseason with one more game to go.
