MINNEAPOLIS — The disruption by the Vikings defense wasn’t as outlandish as in the first three weeks of the season, but it was distinctly effective in Minnesota’s 24-10 win against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football.
The defensive stat sheet wasn’t filled with sacks or quarterback hits, but there was a hidden impact.
The Vikings (4-0) appeared to affect throws by Manning on a night when he went 25-for-45 (55.6 percent) for 261 yards with an interception and a passer rating of 63.3.
Manning had thrown for more than 350 yards in each of the past two weeks.
