DETROIT — Adrian Martinez scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak with 1:51 left to give the Detroit Lions a 21-16 preseason victory over the New York Giants. Graham Gano's third field goal gave the Giants a 16-14 lead with 7:59 to play. Martinez led the Lions on a 69-yard drive. New York stopped former Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. twice from the 1, but Martinez — an undrafted rookie who had 49 TD runs in 45 college games for Nebraska and Kansas State — dived over the goal line for the score. Tommy DeVito's desperation pass was intercepted by Brandon Joseph to clinch the win for Detroit.
