By Mike Petraglia PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer FOXBORO, Massachusetts (Ticker) - Tom Brady got the night offbut Eli Manning got one more tune-up. In a game that traditionally features no starters and reservesbattling for final roster spots before next weekend's seasonopener, the New England Patriots (2-2) beat the New York Giants(1-3), 27-20, on Thursday night at Gillette Stadium in the finalpreseason game for both teams. Nearly all of New England's entire first-team offense did notplay a single down, including quarterback and new father Brady,who won't play until September 9 when the Patriots open theirseason in the Meadowlands against the New York Jets. Brady's backup Matt Cassel led New England on two first-halfscoring drives. He completed 10-of-14 passes for 99 yards.Heath Evans, the team's blocking back, powered in from 1 yardfor a touchdown that put New England up, 10-7 in the secondquarter. While the Patriots did not start a single regular on offense,the Giants did give Manning one final series to get ready fortheir season opener at Dallas on September 9. The Giants' starting signal-caller played only the openingseries and was 5-of-8 for 58 yards. Four of those completionswent to star tight end Jeremy Shockey, who finished with 47yards receiving and also came out after the first series. Brandon Jacobs plowed in from the 1 on fourth down for a 7-0lead. Jared Lorenzen had a long night serving as Manning'sreplacement. The Giants' backup was sacked seven times andcompleted 10-of-16 passes for only 53 yards. Former BostonCollege quarterback and New England native Tim Hasselbeck andAnthony Wright finished up for the Giants. Looking to secure his place among those backing up Brady,43-year-old Vinny Testaverde entered late in the second quarterbefore leading the Patriots on a six-play, 70-yard third-quarterscoring drive, capped off with a 1-yard plunge by QuintonSmith. Testaverde finished 7-of-11 for 99 yards and aninterception. The two teams, who will meet in the regular season's finalweekend on December 29 at Giants Stadium, showed only basicoffensive and defensive packages. Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel, who ended a lengthy holdoutand signed a one-year contract this week, did not play. The only significant injury reported from either sideline camein the first quarter when Oscar Lua, competing for one of thefinal linebacker spots on New England's roster, came out with aleg injury. The undrafted rookie from Southern California didnot return.
