The Giants got a taste of the NFL’s new rule allowing challenges on pass interference penalties Thursday night and it was a sour experience.

Rookie cornerback Corey Ballentine broke up a deep pass from Davis Webb to Tim White midway through the third quarter, seemingly with excellent coverage. Jets coach Adam Gase challenged the no-call and, after a replay review, word came back that Ballentine had indeed committed a penalty, giving the Jets a 33-yard gain.

“Naked eye at game speed I thought it was a terrific play,’’ coach Pat Shurmur said. “When you slow it down, you see he grabbed his wrist. That’s a great example how a play is going to get changed. I’m sort of glad Adam challenged it. As soon as it was challenged my guys upstairs said ‘We’re going to lose this.’ ’’ Ballentine said, “I’m not sure exactly how it was PI, so I’ll go talk with my coach about it. Now that they can review it I think it’s a whole different ballgame, maybe I just need to be a little bit more disciplined with my technique.’’

In that third quarter, Ballentine also had an interception on a deep ball pass from Webb that was intended for White.

It takes something dramatic for an undrafted rookie from a Division II program to make an impression.

LB Jake Carlock of LIU-Post did it late in the third quarter, batting a pass at the line of scrimmage, tapping it to himself for an interception and heading off on a 59-yard touchdown return. Carlock later added a sack to complete his big night.

QB Alex Tanney made the most of his extensive work, going 15-of-20 for 199 yards and one TD. Kyle Lauletta (9-of-12, 116 yards) countered with a 31-yard TD pass to T.J. Jones.

Rookie RB Jon Hillman was forced out in the fourth quarter with a concussion. … Rookie CB DeAndre Baker was called for a 26-yard pass interference penalty on a deep ball to WR Josh Bellamy. … Rookie LB Oshane Ximines, a pass-rusher by reputation, got caught up in coverage in the second quarter and found himself in no-man’s land on a lob pass over his head to Elijah McGuire for a 7-yard touchdown.

Cognizant of the workload RB Saquon Barkley will carry this season, the decision was made to have Barkley sit this game out. TE Evan Engram also was held out.

WR T.J. Jones got the first call on punt returns. His first return was cut short when he was upended by Trenton Cannon and he muffed his second attempt. … OL Nick Gates was called for two penalties (holding and a false start) on one second-quarter series. Gates was hit with another holding penalty in the third quarter.

The 59-minute weather delay was a situation many of the Giants never before experienced.

“We sat in here and just kind of digested what we saw in the game, the first part of it,’’ LT Nate Solder said. “It was interesting, wasn’t it? Going back and warming up, I’ve never been a part of that.’’
