Alright, so you know how the New York Giants and New York Jets throw down every year in that preseason rivalry game? Well, Friday, August 28 was different. This time it was literal brother-on-brother crime, with Giants first-round rookie Francis “Sisi” Mauigoa getting his first shot at facing his older brother, Jets linebacker Francisco “Kiko” Mauigoa.

The Mauigoa Family Feud Kicks Off

Man, talk about making a statement right out of the gate. Francis Mauigoa didn’t just meet his brother on the field, he straight up owned him early in the game. We’re talking first quarter stuff here, on a Tyrone Tracy Jr. touchdown run. Tracy ran right behind Francis, and who was in the way? Yep, big brother Kiko.

Sisi Delivered The Pain

Francis, the rookie right guard from Miami, didn’t hesitate. He wasn’t just blocking Kiko, he stonewalled his older sibling, drove him to the ground, and paved a clear path for Tracy to walk right into the end-zone. That’s a rookie putting a veteran, and his own flesh and blood, on their back. What a moment!

It was Brother vs. Brother and “Sisi” absolutely got the better of “Kiko” when it mattered most. You gotta wonder what Thanksgiving dinner is gonna be like after that.
