Giants vs Patriots live stream: how to watch NFL preseason online from anywhere

If anybody can get Daniel Jones and this Giants offense firing, surely it's Brian Daboll. After a fifth consecutive losing season in which they were far and away the lowest scoring team in the league, Big Blue have freshened things up, and there's a sense of optimism in the air as they take on Bill Belichick's Patriots in their first preseason game under Daboll. Read on as we explain how to get a Giants vs Patriots live stream and watch the NFL preseason game online from anywhere - including FREE coverage in some places.

Belichick, who handed Daboll his first coaching gig in the NFL back in 2000, treats preseason the same way he approaches anything: with utmost intensity. The Pats have won nine of their last 11 preseason games, and Daboll's not going to get anything easy as he makes his head coaching bow.

The man who gave the Bills the most prolific offense in the NFL the past two seasons running plans to field as many prospective starters as possible. The QB position is still Jones' to lose, but with Tyrod Taylor as backup, that might not be the case for much longer if Jones doesn't step things up significantly.

Belichick has kept his cards close to his chest ahead of the game, and it isn't yet clear if Mac Jones will be given some reps, or if Brian Hoyer and Bailey Zappe will share the keys to the Patriots' offense. Whoever gets the snap will no doubt be looking to test out the legs of Tyquan Thornton, who was the quickest receiver at the Combine, and could set pulses racing in Foxborough.
