New England Wraps Up NFL Preseason With Win Over NY Giants
Undrafted Brian Hover played the entire game for the Patriots and may have earned himself a position as Tom Brady's backup with a solid all around performance as New England topped the New York Giants 38-27 in the NFL preseason finale for both clubs. Hover passed for 242 yards and no interceptions on 18 of 25 passing. Most impressively, he didn't get rattled as the Giants broke from the gate quickly to post a 21-0 first quarter lead.
NFL football betting enthusiasts who took New England as +3 road underdogs cashed their tickets with the outright win. The 65 points put on the scoreboard well exceeded the posted total of 36.
Third string running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed for three touchdowns and after the game praised Hovers play:
"Brian did a good job of controlling our offense. We mixed it up."
Green-Ellis had an impressive game himself, with 125 yards on 29 carries to go with the three rushing touchdowns. Afterwards, Patriots coach Bill Belichick had clipped but positive comments about his play:
"Ben does a lot of things for us going back to last year.
As well as that of QB Hover:
"Not bad. He handled the ball fairly well, threw it accurately."
The Giants biggest personnel decision at the moment is their third string QB, where Andre Woodson went 6 for 19 for 98 yards with one interception. Afterwards, he gave his take on the game:
"It took me a while to get into my rhythm and it was the worst possible game to have that happen. Last year I knew I was going to be cut. ... This year is different. It's going to be tense."
Starting QB Eli Manning played one series and after the game summed up his teams mindset:
"I think everyone is ready for the season to get going and start playing for real.
The Giants will start playing for real next Sunday as they host the Washington Redskins in a NFC East battle. The Patriots will start their regular season next Monday night as they host the Buffalo Bills.
