The Giants, Patriots, Ravens and Titans got the first full week of the preseason started on Thursday. Here were the key performances.
The first full week of the 2022 NFL preseason commenced on Thursday night, with the New England Patriots hosting the New York Giants and the Baltimore Ravens welcoming the Tennessee Titans to get the slate started.
A last-second field goal lifted the Giants to a 23-21 win in first-year head coach Brian Daboll’s preseason debut with the team, a game in which quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley were among the notables to see the field. For New England, Mac Jones was rested, with Brian Hoyer and Bailey Zappe getting the time under center for Bill Belichick & Co.
Meanwhile in Baltimore, Lamar Jackson did not see the field on Thursday, but 2021 backup Tyler Huntley was sharp in a 23-10 Ravens victory that also saw rookie Malik Willis earn the start at QB for Tennessee.
Here are the biggest takeaways from Thursday night’s games, along with the rest of the Week 1 preseason schedule:

Overall, the Giants’ offense and their quarterbacks showed signs that they’re headed in the right direction, and there is no need to make any rash moves or panic with another month to go before the regular-season opener in Tennessee.
