The New York Giants defeated the Buffalo Bills, 34-25, on Saturday afternoon in Orchard Park to open their 2025 preseason.
Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart made his NFL debut and was impressive, and the same can be said for fellow rookies Abdul Carter and Marcus Mbow. Several other players, such as running back Dante Miller, also flashed, while quarterback Tommy DeVito reminded everyone he belongs in this league.
But not everything was peaches and cream. Defensive reserves struggled at times, the offense left some points on the board, and a few notable veterans fell flat.
