Giants' Francis Mauigoa steamrolls big brother, Kiko – just like he promised
The New York Giants and New York Jets squared off in their annual preseason rivalry game on Friday, Aug. 28.
This year, the game also had elements of a sibling rivalry, as Giants first-round rookie Francis "Sisi" Mauigoa got a chance to face his brother, Jets linebacker Francisco "Kiko" Mauigoa, for the first time in his career.
The younger Mauigoa brother got the better of his older sibling early in the game, getting a key block on the veteran linebacker during a first quarter Tyrone Tracy Jr. touchdown run.
Tracy ran behind Francis Mauigoa on the play, and the right guard was tasked with blocking his brother on the play. The Miami product managed to stonewall his older sibling and driving him to the ground while paving the way for Tracy to get into the end-zone.
