Minnesota Vikings 28, New York Giants 6: Defense, Darnold Dominant

In the 2024 season opener at MetLife Stadium, fans of the Minnesota Vikings got a glimpse of how they hope this team can win all season long, even if it was against a team that spent most of the day looking like a mess.

Sam Darnold threw two touchdown passes in his regular-season Vikings debut and the Minnesota defense kept the New York Giants completely out of the end zone in a dominant 28-6 victory over New York in Week 1 action.

The Giants got on the board first, thanks in large part to another Vikings’ turnover, which was their Achilles heel last year.
