He completed 16-of-26 passes for 166 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. It’s also why he played the entire first half last night during the Patriots’ 17-9 loss to the Giants in the preseason finale even though the starting offensive linemen were pulled to the bench one by one and the Giants defense was comprised nearly entirely of backups. For those considering selecting Brady in season-long leagues, Derek Carr and Dak Prescott are our favorite late-round quarterbacks to pair him with in drafts. Sep.

The Giants, meanwhile, continued to struggle on offense after putting forth lackluster showings in their first three preseason games. The two-time NFL MVP hit 6 of 7 passes and scrambled for 10 yards on the march, which ended with a 7-yard TD toss to a wide-open Keshawn Martin.
The Giants sat their best offensive players and had only a 25-yard field goal by Randy Bullock to show for it at halftime. Brady had a small cameo in the third preseason game, coming in with the second team and finishing with 76 yards and a touchdown on 3-of-9 passing.
Either way, this could be seen as a form of protest towards Roger Goodell in light of Brady’s upcoming four-game suspension.
Brady had New England at the Giants 19 on the next series before running back D.J. Foster fumbled a screen pass.
The two had first talked about it in 2015, with Brady relaying, “I promised him a jersey and forgot”.

Rookie cornerback Cyrus Jones had a tough game surrendering four catches for 78 yards and a touchdown. He finished with six tackles and two quarterback hits. In those two years he averaged 16.1 and 18.9 yards per catch respectively. Expect to hear that agenda pushed the first time Jimmy G. throws it to the wrong team or runs around like a squirrel in the middle of 128 and gets strip-sacked.
