Jets top Giants for bragging rights in tuneup

Published: Aug 29, 2011 at 03:22 PM

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Mark Sanchez threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes, and the Jets capitalized on two big special-teams plays to defeat the Giants 17-3 Monday night in a preseason game delayed two days by Tropical Storm Irene's devastating visit to the New York metropolitan area.

Bilal Powell had a 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, and the Jets defense intercepted Eli Manning twice in what probably will be the last major warmup for both teams' starters before the regular season.

The Jets will face the Philadelphia Eagles at home Thursday. The Giants finish their preseason at New England, also on Thursday.

The chippy game featured the Giants' Brandon Jacobs and the Jets' Muhammad Wilkerson being ejected for a fight.
