On Thursday night, the Patriots took on the Giants at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.

Garoppolo started the team’s first three preseason games and has played 113 snaps, while Brissett has played exclusively in the second half and has gotten 77 snaps.
Tom Brady didn’t always hate his National Football League decal. The 17-yard touchdown extended the Giants lead to 17-9.
We’ll see what happens.
His plan since his banner Offensive Rookie of the Year season was to collect as many jerseys of respected opponents – one per game, if possible – and eventually put them on display at his North Jersey home.
Brady was pedestrian in this rain-soaked affair, completing just eight passes on 21 attempts for 112 yards.
Tom Brady got his final preseason tuneup in on Thursday before he has to serve a four-game suspension. However, if that’s the case, why not play Jimmy Garoppolo for a series or two? New England finishes the preseason with a 3-1 record. The Giants are at Dallas.
While Brady tries to remain sharp, many players will be fighting for a roster spot in the preseason finale.
Detroit rookie running back Dwayne Washington, a seventh-round pick from Washington, got the Lions going early with a 58-yard touchdown run as the Lions cruised to a 31-0 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
The Giants got a field goal in the second quarter to make the score 6-3 at halftime.
This time around, Brady finished his night 16 of 26 for 166 yards, one touchdown and one interception against a Giants defense that was primarily composed of backups. “Coach and I talked about it”, Brady said. With issues pertaining to drugs, Gordon was suspended for the entire season past year, and will miss the first four games of this season for the Cleveland Browns. Jumping all over a Patriots team that is down at the start of the season is a must.
Brady is not allowed to have contact with the Patriots or utilize team facilities during his suspension.
Patriots: Garoppolo, Rob Ninkovich, Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola, Jabaal Sheard, Jonathan Cooper. Among their healthy scratches were quarterback Eli Manning, receiver Odell Beckham Jr., cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. This marked the second victory in what would become a record-breaking Patriots win streaking that lasted through the Super Bowl XXXVIII win and into the 2004 season. Chris Hogan led in receiving with 62 yards and a touchdown while Aaron Dobson complimented 49 ayrds in two receptions.
Patriots: WR Devin Lucien left in the second half after making a catch and getting hit in the back by Mark Herzlich. You always want to be out there with your guys.

“I think every day, every game is an opportunity”. It will be exciting and, obviously, we can’t wait for his return. Quite often, teams distance their starters from the final preseason game to preserve health and give their better players a night off to relax.
