Giants Routed by Vikings in Season Opener

The New York Giants' centennial season opener ended in disappointment as they were defeated 28-6 by the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium. Quarterback Daniel Jones struggled significantly, completing 22 of 42 passes for 186 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, contributing to the Giants' offensive woes. In contrast, Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold showcased an impressive performance, throwing for 208 yards and two touchdowns, leading his team to a commanding victory. Despite the Giants honoring 100 former players during halftime, the game quickly turned sour for their fans, who booed the lackluster play. Head coach Brian Daboll and Jones acknowledged the need for improvement, with the team aiming to regroup after this disappointing start. The Giants' lack of offensive production and poor decision-making raise concerns about their ability to compete this season.
