New York Jets wide receiver Randall Cobb appeared to be in regular-season mode on Saturday night in the final preseason game of the year against the New York Giants.
In the first quarter, Cobb tried to block for tight end Tyler Conklin. He threw a devastating block behind Conklin to allow the pass-catcher to get a few more yards on the play. Cobb put the hit on Giants safety Bobby McCain and was flagged for an illegal blindside block.
