New England Patriots vs. New York Giants: Preview, TV Coverage and Streams
By Nick Ziegler
The New England Patriots will be hosting the New York Giants in their final preseason game. Here’s all the information you’ll need to watch and enjoy.
On Thursday night, the New England Patriots will be wrapping up their preseason against the New York Giants. Coming into the game, the Patriots have a 1-2 record in the preseason.
After losing the first two games of the preseason, the Patriots were able to defeat the Detroit Lions in the somewhat important third game of the preseason. In that game, the Patriots played pretty well. Their starters were able to get a comfortable lead early before handing it off to the backups just before halftime.
Unfortunately for the Patriots, they suffered a major injury in that game. Wide receiver Julian Edelman went down with an injury in the game early on. After leaving the game, it was later confirmed that Edelman had suffered a torn ACL.
As one of the best slot receivers in football, this was certainly a blow for New England. Now, they will be looking to escape the preseason without any more injuries. Since this is the final preseason game before the regular season, don’t expect to see too many familiar names for the Patriots or the Giants.
Even though the stars won’t be playing, here is all the information you’ll need to watch and enjoy the game. If you are unable to watch the game on television, Fubo.TV offers an excellent service that you can try for free to watch the game.

While this game won’t likely feature too many players that we saw on each team in the postseason last year, there will be some young players hungry to impress. With the final roster cuts happening soon, this will be the final time that the coaches have to make important roster decisions.
