The Jets defeated the Giants this evening in a sloppy, penalty filled contest. The Jets had 12 flags thrown in their direction, resulting in 77 yards, while the Giants only had 4, for 20 yards.

The big news of the night was DE Osi Umenyiora, whose knee locked up while he was attempting to go in for a sack. He had to be carried off the field by two trainers, however the x-rays appeared to be negative. The Giants will have an MRI taken and re-evaluate his knee again tomorrow.

Jets quarterback Brett Ratliff tossed a 24-yard pass to WR Paul Raymond to put the Jets ahead with 6:08 remaining. Jets cornerback Drew Coleman intercepted a Andre Woodson pass with a little over a minute left to shut the door.

Eli Manning was 10-of-17 for 113 yards, Brett Favre was 9-of-12 for 96 yards in two quarters. Favre had a touchdown pass to WR Jericho Cotchery called back on an illegal motion penalty by Favre’s former Packers teammate TE Bubba Franks. Eli had a chance at a touchdown in the late second half but was sacked on third and goal from the 7-yard line. Kicker Josh Huston, subbing for Lawrence Tynes went wide right on the field goal attempt.

DE Justin Tuck sacked Brett Favre on the second play of the game for an 8 yard loss, however the Jets defense proved to be more disrupting. The Jets had eight sacks while the Giants could only manage a pair.

WRs Dominek Hixon and draft pick Mario Manningham both caught 3 passes, Hixon for 51 yards, Manningham for 41. RBs Derrick Ward had 4 carries for 36 yards while Ahmad Bradshaw had 7 carries for 28 yards and the Giants lone touchdown.

In addition to Umenyiora, the Giants saw LB Danny Clark (strained groin) and S Craig Dahl (sprained knee) leave the game early due to injury

The Giants next and final preseason game will be against their Super Bowl opponent New England Patriots on Thursday at Giants Stadium.
