Undefeated teams going at each other. A Super Bowl rematch. Two of the most successful organizations... Sorry, can’t do it. Trying to build up hype for a game just doesn’t work when none of the star players will participate in it. Such is the case when the New England Patriots and the New York Giants will be facing off tonight in the fourth preseason game. Instead, we will mostly see the teams’ second and third stringers in action.
That being said, there are still some interesting storylines on display from New England’s perspective — from the battles for final roster or practice squad spots to the development of the younger players on the team. With all that in mind, let’s find out how to actually follow tonight’s game:
