The New York Giants just wrapped up their preseason with a statement win, taking down the New York Jets 31-12 tonight at MetLife Stadium. Kickoff was at 7:30 pm Eastern for this preseason finale, and while both teams share MetLife as their home turf, this matchup was officially a Jets home game. You know how it used to be, where only the home team got to broadcast their own games? Well, things have changed, and both sides had their own feeds for this one, which is a pretty cool shift for fans.
The Broadcast Breakdown: Giants Show Out
The Jets feed for the game was on WCBS 2, with Ian Eagle and Anthony Becht calling the action. But if you wanted to catch the Giants’ take, WNBC 4 was your spot, featuring Bob Papa, Carl Banks, and Phil Simms in the booth. And let’s be real, the Giants pulled out all the stops with their coverage. They didn’t just stick to one local channel. Their preseason contests hit a massive television network. We’re talking WNYT 13 in Albany, WSTM 3 in Syracuse, WPNY 11 in Utica, WETM 18 in Elmira, WWTI 50 in Watertown, and even WTIC 61 in Hartford. Seriously, Jets, maybe it’s time to expand that preseason broadcast map a bit, huh? That’s some serious reach by the Giants!
Missed the Action? Here’s How You Can Still Watch
If you couldn’t tune in live for the preseason finale, don’t sweat it too much, because there are still ways to catch the game. If you were in the New York area, you could stream the Jets feed on the official Jets app or newyorkjets.com. Giants fans in the same local zone could hit up the Giants app or giants.com for their feed. For those of us outside the immediate New York area, NFL+ offered a live stream, though it did require a separate subscription. And for our fans across the pond, in the United Kingdom and Ireland, newyorkjets.com had you covered for a live stream. But for everyone who just wants to kick back and watch it later, NFL Network has your back: they’ll reair the Jets vs. Giants game on Sunday, August 30, at 3:00 pm Eastern. Mark your calendars!
