What happened

After a fiery joint practice on Thursday, the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins will meet this afternoon for Week 2 of NFL Preseason.

Why it matters

Common ground

“On the day the two teams shared two practice fields, the Giants looked like the far better squad,” The Post’s Paul Schwartz wrote.
