MINNEAPOLIS -- The last time the Minnesota Vikings faced the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, they slunk out of MetLife Stadium following one of the most embarrassing quarterbacking displays in the franchise's six decades.
Josh Freeman, signed 15 days before the game, completed only 20 of his 53 passes for 190 yards and an interception, in what would be his only start in a Vikings uniform. The Vikings did not score an offensive touchdown in a 23-7 loss to the previously winless Giants in that 2013 game, falling to 1-5 a year after they'd earned a surprising wild-card berth.
