Eric Gray vs Lions

In their preseason opener, the New York Giants defeated the Detroit Lions 14-3 at MetLife Stadium, with backup quarterback Tommy DeVito stepping in for the injured Drew Lock. Lock left the game in the first quarter after throwing an interception, completing only four of ten passes for 17 yards. DeVito led the team to two scoring drives, with running back Eric Gray scoring two touchdowns, showcasing his potential as a key contributor. The Giants' defense excelled, forcing the Lions to turn the ball over on downs four times and limiting them to just 228 yards. With most starters rested, the performance highlighted the depth of the Giants' roster, though rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers and others did not see significant action. The game was played under rainy conditions, but the Giants managed to secure a solid victory in their preseason debut.
