VIDEO: Giants Beat Patriots in Preseason Finale With Kyle Lauletta Pass TD as Time Expires
By Scott Rogust
While the final week of NFL preseason games are usually duds, Thursday night's New York Giants-New England Patriots matchup had a pretty exciting ending. The Patriots held a 29-25 lead in the final seconds of the game, but quarterback Kyle Lauletta and the G-Men worked their way downfield full of intent. After Alonzo Russell stepped out of bounds on a surefire touchdown reception, the fourth-year receiver had his moment of redemption. With the game clock expiring, Lauletta threw a lob pass to Russell, who leaped into the air, and haul in the pass for the game-winning touchdown.
With that catch, the Giants end their preseason with a perfect 4-0 record (not that that means much).
Regardless, Alonzo Russell, who caught five passes for 92 yards and 2 scores on Thursday night, might have made his case to make the 53-man roster with cut day looming.
