Matt Vensel on the game
The Vikings were again ready for the prime-time spotlight Monday night, putting forth another strong performance in a showcase game at rowdy U.S. Bank Stadium.
The roof-rattling crowd and a Vikings defense that is arguably the NFL’s best rattled New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning like they did Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on national television two weeks ago. This time, though, the Vikings took early control and won 24-10.
The Giants came into the game with one of the league’s most productive offenses, with Manning airing it out to a trio of talented wideouts led by Odell Beckham Jr.
