In a disappointing season opener, the New York Giants fell to the Minnesota Vikings 28-6 at MetLife Stadium, with former Jets quarterback Sam Darnold leading the charge for Minnesota. Darnold completed 19 of 24 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns, while Giants quarterback Daniel Jones struggled with two interceptions, including a pick-six thrown to Andrew Van Ginkel. Van Ginkel's defensive prowess continued as he not only scored a touchdown but also recorded a sack during the game, contributing significantly to the Vikings' dominant defense that limited the Giants to just six points. The Giants committed nine penalties for 95 yards, further hampering their efforts. Dexter Lawrence expressed his frustration with the booing from Giants fans, acknowledging the tough start to the season. The Vikings will look to build on this victory as they prepare to host the 49ers next week.
