EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Israel Abanikanda had a 45-yard touchdown run in the first half and the Jets sacked Tommy DeVito eight times in a 10-6 victory over the Giants in a preseason battle of backups between the New York teams. Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the Jets' projected starters watched from the sideline, as did Daniel Jones and most of the Giants' starters. DeVito, slated as the No. 3 quarterback behind Jones and Drew Lock, played the entire game and struggled to get anything going. He finished 14 of 27 for 103 yards and gained 48 yards on five runs. Takk McKinley had 2 1/2 sacks for the Jets.
