Patriots get primetime television spot for anticipated preseason game
Patriots get primetime television spot for anticipated preseason game
The New England Patriots will face the New York Giants in a nationally televised game in Week 3 of the preseason. A listing of all of the televised 2025 preseason games was shared on social media on Thursday by NFL analyst Andrew Siciliano.
The Patriots' matchup with the Giants will be featured on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday, August 21 at 8 p.m. ET.
The Patriots and Giants have seemingly made preseason matchups a tradition. They have met 30 times, with the Giants holding a 19-11 advantage in the preseason series. They played each other at least once a year from 2005-2019. The Patriots were defeated by the Giants 23-21 in the 2022 preseason game.
There's some added intrigue to this matchup given the number of talented young stars from both teams.
The Giants have second-year wideout Malik Nabers, rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter and rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, while the Patriots have second-year quarterback Drake Maye and rookie offensive tackle Will Campbell.
Could we potentially see a tease of Campbell going head-to-head with Carter? If not in the preseason, then we could definitely see it later in the year, as the Patriots are also scheduled to meet the Giants in a regular-season Monday Night Football matchup in December.

Former Super Bowl champ reveals what he told Patriots rookie Will Campbell
Former Super Bowl champ reveals what he told Patriots rookie Will Campbell Former legendary NFL offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth revealed the advice he gave to New England Patriots rookie offensive tackle Will Campbell. The two have developed a relationship with both being born and raised in Monroe, Louisiana. Both also attended and played for LSU before being drafted to the NFL. 'I've told him, 'Man, I can't wait to watch him do what he does and build this team with an identity that I know he'll have,'' Whitworth said, per NESN's Sean T. McGuire. 'He gets to carry on the 318 legacy now. He talks about being a fan of mine, but now I get to just be a fan of his.' Whitworth knows a thing or two about creating a legacy as a four-time Pro Bowler, two-time First-Team All-Pro and Super Bowl champion. He was one of the most dependable offensive linemen in the NFL during his run, and he hopes Campbell will be able to carry on their state legacy. As the fourth overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft, Campbell is coming into New England with the highest expectations. So far, he has held his own against tough veteran opposition in the offseason practices. It's all preparation for when the pads finally come on and real football begins later this summer.

Giants using a swashbuckling approach to turnovers: ‘Be a damn pirate'
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants might have to walk the plank if they don't get better at taking possessions away from opponents. Sitting on the sideline during practice this offseason is a wooden chest – a 'turnover chest,' if you will – that contains no gold, silver or jewels. But to the Giants, what does go in there is even more valuable.

Eli Manning Reveals Plan for New York Giants' Jaxson Dart
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Giants are now two eras removed from the Eli Manning days. Although the organization hoped for a long and healthy relationship with their former first-round pick, Daniel Jones, that partnership couldn't make it through the 2024 NFL season. The Giants were then led down a path to take a quarterback during the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. When New York went on the clock at 25th overall, they landed on Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss. It was hard to miss the immediate connection to Manning, who played at Ole Miss from 1999 to 2003. Being that Manning had a long and successful career with the Giants, playing in over 230 regular-season games and winning multiple Super Bowls, he maintains a strong relationship with the organization. Therefore, if Dart needs a mentor, Manning is there to listen or offer advice. However, Manning recently made one thing clear: he's not stepping in for the sake of doing so. "I've told him, 'Hey, I'm here to help in any way. I'm a phone call away, a text away, but I'm not getting in the way," Manning told reporters, according to CBS Sports.

Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning smiles before throwing out a ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium before the Toronto Blue Jays take on the New York Yankees on August 4, 2024 in New York City. More Photo byDart's journey with the Giants comes after a 45-game run in the NCAA. He started his college career playing at USC, where he appeared in six games as a freshman. Dart completed 117 passes for 1,353 yards and nine touchdowns. In 2022, Dart debuted for Ole Miss and appeared in 13 games. He started all but one of those matchups. From that point on, Dart saw a major improvement, which helped him work his way into the first-rounder light. For his final NCAA season, Dart threw for 4,279 yards. He accounted for 32 total touchdowns and turned the ball over just six times. From afar, Manning is optimistic about his former team's draft decision. "I've been just impressed with Jaxson, because I've seen him get better every single year," Manning told reporters. "That's what you want your players to do, to make improvements, even though you're playing well, not being content and wanting to make those improvements every day. So I've kind of seen that. It sounds like he's doing that with the Giants. Every day, you're going to learn something, and you're going to make mistakes. That's just part of it, but learning from those mistakes, not repeating those mistakes, and seems like he's just trying to be there, earn the respect of his teammates and his coaches through his hard work." Dart's status on the depth chart will depend on his first NFL training camp. Currently, he's battling against multiple veterans, including Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. The assumption is that Dart is in for a redshirt season as a rookie. While it's a controversial approach surrounding the Giants and their first-round passer right now, all signs are pointing to Dart getting eased into the process.
