The annual preseason matchup of New York teams, a game that is typically no different than any other exhibition snoozefest, may actually have a little bit of drama on tap this time around.
It all stems from Muhammad Wilkerson seemingly taking exception to a tweet from Giants guard Justin Pugh.
In case you missed it, this was Pugh's shot at the increasingly easy target the lowly Jets have become:
At the airport and I forgot a hat. They only have @nyjets hats. All of them untouched. Literally not one @Giants hat left...Wonder why? 😏🤔😉

And here's Wilkerson's response:

In reality, it may be wishful thinking to expect any sort of intrigue in a preseason game. The safe money is on the brief social media exchange being completely forgotten by the time Aug. 26 rolls around.
But given that it is the third game of each club's preseason schedule, the pair of standout linemen will at least have the opportunity for some extended work against one another.
So that's something.
