The annual preseason battle between the New York Giants and the New York Jets takes place on Saturday at their shared home, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, of course. These two teams have faced off prior to the regular season every year since 1969 (with the exception of 2020). However, this season has some different expectations surrounding both squads.

Comments made by New York Giants' star Saquon Barkley on a podcast last week are feeling very poignant now, after the RB did not receive a contract extension.
