The first half of the New York Jets’ warmup game against the New York Giants is over and the Jets lead the Giants 10-3.
The game began with the Giants losing the kickoff after a big return, allowing the Jets a first down in Giants territory. After a short drive, marked by runs by Israel Abanikanda, the Jets settled for a short field goal and an early 3-0 lead.
The Giants then dominated the Jets’ defense on the next drive and kept running the ball. But on fourth and 1 deep in Jets territory, Chaz Surratt made a great stop to slow the Giants down.
The quarter ended with a sack by Takk McKinley, the Jets still led 3-0.
The second quarter began with a great punt return by Brandon Codrington that gave the Jets good field position. A pass to Jason Brownlee gave the Jets a first down at the Giants 45-yard line. On the next play, Israel Abanikanda rushed 45 yards for a touchdown, giving the Jets a 10-0 lead.
The Giants got the ball back and Jets fans were treated to a rare back-to-back sack sequence, with Leonard Taylor and Braiden McGregor combining for all the sacks. A Giants punt gave the Jets offense another boost.
After the Jets’ offense fizzled, the Giants took the lead and scored a late field goal to make the score 10-3 to the Jets, ending the first half with points. Adrian Martinez led a nice Jets charge inside the Giants’ 20-yard line as time expired, but Greg Zuerlein sank a chip-shot field goal as time expired.
