Jets hope to find offensive rhythm in last preseason test for starters

The New York Jets face the New York Giants at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at MetLife Stadium. A couple of things to watch for during the game:
Why watch: Because this is the third and most important preseason game, it might be a good time for the Jets' starters to ... you know, show up. In the first two games, the Jets were outscored 24-3 with their starting units on the field (not counting a touchdown last week against the Atlanta Falcons' backups). All told, the Ryan Fitzpatrick-led offense has produced only 10 points in seven possessions. Numbers don't mean anything in the preseason; it's all about staying healthy and getting comfortable with personnel and schemes. That's where the Jets still are playing catchup, and this is their last shot because the starters won't play in the finale.
Did you know? The Jets lead the all-time preseason series, 24-21-1. This is the fifth annual MetLife Bowl, the winner receiving the coveted Snoopy Trophy. (Feel free to roll your eyes.) This is Tom Coughlin's 12th year as the Giants' coach. In that span, the Jets have had four head coaches -- Herm Edwards, Eric Mangini, Rex Ryan and Todd Bowles.
