Giants wins second straight preseason game
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Eli Manning and Daniel Jones were both sharp throwing the ball as the New York Giants defeated the imposter Chicago Bears, 32-13, in a preseason game on Friday night at MetLife Stadium.
Imposter because the Bears did not play a single starter in Friday’s game.
The Giants are now 2-0 on the preseason.
Eli’s night
Eli Manning played one successful series, leading the Giants on a 10-play, 79-yard touchdown drive to start the game. He went 4-of-4 for 42 yards and capped the drive with an 8-yard touchdown strike to Bennie Fowler.
Manning’s night started like this:

Daniel Jones
Jones isn’t perfect. He had two fumbles, dropping a snap on one play and being strip-sacked on another. Still, he threw the ball exceptionally well. Jones went 11-of-14 for 161 yards and a touchdown.
There was this deep ball:

Jones had the best looking deep ball in the class, especially rhythm fades . Great placement and watch Latimer attack the catch point over the defender. #GiantsPride #CHIvsNYG pic.twitter.com/4IDJbHiO0s
There was also this gorgeous touchdown throw to T.J. Jones:
