The New England Patriots will wrap up their preseason campaign with a familiar opponent — the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. This matchup carries plenty of history, as it marks the 32nd preseason meeting between the two teams, more than the Patriots have played against any other opponent.
For years, this contest was a preseason tradition, with the Giants and Patriots facing off in the finale for 16 straight seasons between 2005–2019, and again in 2021. The two teams even kicked off the 2022 regular season against one another.
Coming off a 20-12 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, New England improved to 2-0 in the preseason and now looks to secure what would be just the fifth unbeaten preseason in franchise history.
