EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tommy DeVito replaced an injured Drew Lock late in the first quarter and led New York on two first-half scoring drives that Eric Gray capped with runs of 48 and 1 yard as the Giants beat the Detroit Lions 14-3 in a preseason opener limited to mostly backups. With the game played in a light rain Thursday night, neither Dan Campbell of the NFC North champion Lions nor Brian Daboll of the Giants was going to risk their starters in the contest at MetLife Stadium, close to where the teams held two of fight-filled joint practices on Monday and Tuesday.
