The New York Giants ushered in the John Harbaugh era with a sloppy and uninspired 13-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium on Saturday.
There were few positives to take away from the game, which featured the Giants committing seven penalties while amassing just 201 yards and turning the ball over twice. However, much of that can be attributed to Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who unexpectedly used exotic looks and late-season blitzes rarely seen in preseason action.
Here's a quick look at the snap counts from Saturday's preseason-opening loss.
Offensive snaps: 54Defensive snaps: 59Special teams snaps: 24
There's not too much to note from the snap counts. They were widely distributed, as they usually are in preseason games,
with rookie linebacker Jack Kelly leading the team with 37 snaps. Fellow rookie, offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa, also got a healthy dose of playing time with 30 snaps.
Veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. played 30 percent of the offensive snaps, which he desired as he fights to make the 53-man roster.
