As expected, there has been plenty of offense early on in New Meadowlands Stadium. Both teams are moving the football at will and operating with a lot of balance. Jacksonville has been a bit more run-heavy, with Jones-Drew leading the way (6 carries for 58 yards).
Jaguars Vs. Giants: First Quarter Update
The Giants opened the game with a solid drive. QB Eli Manning has completed five of seven passes for 52 yards. Giants are thin at wide receiver though, and early on, Hagan has been his favorite target (two catches for 21 yards).
On their opening drive, it appeared Hagan fumbled inside of the ten-yard line while the Giants were driving. Jacksonville recovered the “fumble.” The play was challenged though, and reversed. Giants then settled for a field goal and jumped out to a 3-0 lead.
The Jaguars came out aggressive on offense, and it’s clear Jones-Drew will get a lot of touches today and be the key to victory for them. They lead, 7-3, after one quarter.
