The Minnesota Vikings crushed the New York Giants by a score of 49-17 on Sunday Night Football, finally proving they are capable of winning games slated during prime time.
Minnesota opened the scoring late in the first quarter with a field goal, as Blair Walsh converted his first of five attempts from 32 yards out.
Following a strong defensive stand, which led to good field position for the offense, Teddy Bridgewater guided the Vikings to their first touchdown of the game. The Minnesota quarterback hooked up with tight end Kyle Rudolph for a 28-yard score on a perfectly placed pass up the seam, giving his team a 10-0 advantage early in the second quarter.
