The Giants’ Prince Amukamara forcing an interception during the first half against the Jets, who won, 24-21, in overtime.
The Jets and the Giants did little to silence questions about their offenses, showing little spark and committing many mistakes as they slogged toward the regular season.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The preseason game between the Jetsand the Giants on Saturday night was meant to answer some questions for each team’s coaching staff. Most notably, could the Jets rookie Geno Smith play well enough to win the starting quarterback job over Mark Sanchez, the incumbent?
A less imperative question, but one that needs answering, is this: Can the Giants’ offense score some touchdowns?
In a tedious game that ended with a 24-21 Jets victory in overtime, neither team got what it wanted. There was little competent offensive play by either team, and the ceaseless Jets drama under Coach Rex Ryan advanced to a new level of bizarre.
