Davis Webb rallies Giants to preseason victory over Bengals

After a strong performance by QB Daniel Jones, it was QB Davis Webb who rallied the New York Giants to victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

The New York Giants faced off against the defending AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night in the only home game on this year’s preseason schedule.

It was the MetLife debut for head coach Brian Daboll and many Giants players, including this year’s two first round picks, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal.

The Giants played the game with a glut of injuries along their offensive line. By the middle of the third quarter, reserve tackle Will Holden was playing center.

Left tackle Andrew Thomas, right guard Mark Glowinski and Neal, the right tackle, all started. Max Garcia got the start at center and Devery Hamilton started at left guard.

Daniel Jones started the game at quarterback. Antonio Williams opened the game at running back.

On defense, the Giants opened the game with their starters, including Thibodeaux at outside linebacker and Blake Martinez at middle linebacker.

Martinez did not play in last week’s preseason opener against New England. It was Martinez’ first game action since tearing his ACL in Week 3 last season.

Cincinnati did not play their starters.
