The Giants kick off their preseason campaign on the road this weekend with a trip to Orchard Park, where they'll square off against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.

These two franchises have faced off 14 times in the regular season, along with one playoff clash. Buffalo currently holds the edge in the head-to-head battle, leading the all-time series 8–6. Their latest encounter came at this very venue, with the Bills narrowly edging out New York in a gritty 14–9 contest.

Big Blue’s most recent victory over Buffalo dates back to October 4, 2017, when they cruised to a 24–10 win — a result they’ll hope to replicate as they look to build early momentum in the preseason.

Buffalo Bills vs New York Giants team news

Buffalo Bills team news

No team leans on its quarterback more heavily than the Buffalo Bills do with Josh Allen — and luckily for them, he’s got the shoulders to carry it all.

Coming off an MVP-winning 2024 campaign, Allen matched Lamar Jackson for the league’s best Total QBR, doing so despite playing behind an offensive line that ranked dead last in protection rate. That kind of production under pressure is rare air.

In the backfield, James Cook has elevated the run game across the last two seasons, giving the offense a much-needed dimension. The fact that he’s reporting to camp while navigating a contract standoff is a promising sign for Buffalo.

The strain on Allen hasn’t just stemmed from his offensive weapons, the real pressure has come from the defense. Ranked 22nd in EPA allowed per pass, Buffalo's secondary found itself in far too many shootouts. The front office is banking on first-rounder Maxwell Hairston to solidify the cornerback spot vacated by Rasul Douglas, who left in free agency. Should the rookie falter, the Bills might find themselves counting on a last hurrah from Tre'Davious White.

New York Giants team news

Meanwhile, the quarterback situation in New York is a different story altogether. Tommy DeVito is the lone signal-caller on the Giants roster with actual NFL snaps under his belt, and even he’s not expected to see the field unless things go catastrophically wrong. That’s why the front office brought in Jameis Winston and Zach Wilson before the draft, aiming to insulate whichever rookie they grabbed from being thrust into action.

That rookie ended up being Jaxson Dart, who impressed Brian Daboll and his staff enough to convince them to trade back into the first round to secure him. Coming off a stellar year at Ole Miss, 4,279 passing yards, 29 touchdowns, and just six picks, Dart brings upside. Now, the pressure shifts to Daboll, who’ll be tasked with shaping him into a reliable NFL starter, however long that journey takes.
