The New York Giants and the New York Jets will face off against one another in Week 3 of the NFL 2015 preseason on Saturday. Week 3 is generally a time where teams turn up the heat on their preparations somewhat, and that fire should be ignited even more with no love lost between these two New York rivals. The game has a scheduled start time of 7 p.m. ET and takes place from the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The game can be watched online through live stream via the link below.
Today's game sees the Snoopy Trophy up for grabs as well as the all important bragging rights for the winners.
Both teams are set to use their starters for at least half the game, and some may even stay on for three quarters. That should ensure an intensive affair between the two New York rivals as they clamp down on their preparations for the new season.
One individual match up to look out for in today's game is the mouthwatering face off between Darrelle Revis and Odell Beckham, Jr. Both players are among the most competitive and proud players in the league and neither will want to give an inch in today's battle.
Week 3 in the NFL preseason is a big one, with three games taking place on Friday night, and 11 more taking place on Saturday.
On Friday, the New England Patriots were able to obtain a road win over the Carolina Panthers 17-16, and although it was by no means anywhere near a complete performance, they will be pleased to have come out on the right side of the result.
The Patriots are of course dealing with the loss of Tom Brady, who through DeflateGate will miss the opening four games of the regular season. So their top priority is to make sure they cover his big absence well enough not to allow the opening games to undermine their season and push for another Super Bowl.
In other games on Saturday the Kansas City Chiefs continued to look impressive in their preseason warm-ups. The Chiefs claimed a very convincing 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans, and their preseason form will give them hope that they can make a significant impact in the new season.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions looked far from their best, but still saw off a Jacksonville Jaguars team that looks like it is on the way up, but still a few seasons away from being able to seriously compete for postseason spots. The Lions came away from Jacksonville with a 22-17 victory.
Saturday's games feature 11 match ups, and being Week 3 fans can expect a much more intensive affair, with starters being given more field time as final preparations for the new season are put in place. Week 3 is traditionally a time where teams look to ramp things up significantly from previous weeks, and can be more intensive than Week 4 as teams look to be more cautious about injuries in the final preseason week as the new season gets close.
