The New York Giants wrap up the NFL preseason on Thursday night against the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.
With the regular season just a week away, teams typically rest their starters for the fourth and final preseason game. Instead, the game provides an opportunity for roster hopefuls to make impressions before the deadline on Saturday to cut down rosters to 53 players.
The highlight here is the first NFL start for Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones, who gets the nod with Eli Manning taking the night off. Jones, who was considered by many a reach as the No. 6 overall pick in the NFL Draft, has gone on to become one of the breakout players of the preseason.
Here’s how to watch the action:
What time does the Giants-Patriots game start?

Who are the quarterbacks for Giants-Patriots?
Daniel Jones, the rookie sensation, will start at quarterback for the Giants. Kyle Lauletta and Alex Tanney also are expected to get time under center.
